Publisher's Summary

A report on how the greed of a privileged few, subsidized by public funding, creates substantial profits for themselves from mass human suffering.This was a speech given by General Butler during a nationwide tour in the early 1930's, but it applies even more today! Listen as he frankly discusses, from his experience as a career military officer, how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He then suggests several practical solutions for reducing the pillage.

Succinct, Timeless and Accurate

Among the most impactful writings I have ever come across, which talks of the tribulations of the modern age. It is relevant today as much as it was in 1935. The game has only become sharper and the stakes higher, the fundamentals are the same as they were a century ago.
