War Is a Racket

In War Is a Racket, Major General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines, critiques the true motivations behind modern warfare, arguing that conflicts primarily serve the interests of corporations and bankers rather than noble ideals. Drawing from his extensive military experience, Butler asserts that war has become a profitable business that imposes heavy costs on ordinary citizens and soldiers alike. Through his sharp insights and clear language, he examines who profits from war and offers practical solutions for dismantling this "racket," making this audiobook a thought-provoking exploration of the economic drivers behind global conflict.
