War Is a Racket is a brief but influential antiwar work by Smedley Darlington Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps general and two time Medal of Honor recipient. First developed from his public lectures in the 1930s, the book argues that modern war is not only a matter of national defense or patriotic duty, but also a commercial system that transfers wealth and risk in deeply unequal ways. Butler writes as a former participant in military campaigns, giving the text an unusual combination of directness, institutional familiarity, and moral reversal. The Warbler Classics Annotated Edition places Butler alongside Henry David Thoreau and William James, including Civil Disobedience and The Moral Equivalent of War to widen the discussion from war profiteering to conscience, civic resistance, and nonmilitary forms of public purpose. The result is a compact political classic situated at the intersection of military history, political economy, peace studies, and American dissent.
