War Is a Racket
The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier
Summary:
The book presents a scathing critique of the military-industrial complex and the profit-driven nature of war, as seen through the eyes of a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps Major General. It exposes how business interests influence warfare and how those who profit from conflict are often far removed from the battlefields where the true costs are paid.
Key points:
1. War as a Business: Butler claims war is for profit, benefiting a few while causing suffering for many.
