Expect a book report soon.

I jusst got a copy of Smedley Butler's'War is a Racket' published in 1935ish. It's a very short book.

It's in the public domain now and reprints are available on eBay.

If you don't know who Smedley Butler is, here's a link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler


Update. It is a very short book and well worth the time to read.

It's a short, but excellent read. Butler points out that war would go away if we made it unprofitable and I seriously do believe him.

In order to appreciate it truly one has to understand that a lot of the context of WW1 because he points out a lot of financial facts from WW1.

It you want to know why he used the data from WW1 instead of later wars you are a dumbass. It was written in 1935. Open a history book and figure it out.
