War is a Racket is one of the most influential works ever written by Major General Smedley D. Butler, the most decorated Marine in American history. Written in 1933, the book is a scathing critique of the economic aspects of warfare and how it affects the lives of ordinary citizens. It has become a classic of anti-war literature and is still widely read today.

In it, Butler argues that war is a racket used by politicians and capitalists to enrich themselves, while using patriotism and national pride to cover their true motives. He also discusses the role of the military-industrial complex in perpetuating war, and the devastating effects of war on the civilian population. War is a Racket makes a compelling case against war and imperialism, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of conflict.
