Possibly the best book about war I’ve ever read is the short, straightforward War Is a Racket, which you can read (or reread) for free at the link provided.

War Is a Racket was by written Major General Smedley Darlington Butler after twice receiving the Medal of Honor and retiring from the US Marine Corps. He knows whereof he writes.

War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, but sadly, there’s never been a moment since when it hasn’t been incredibly timely.

War Is a Racket – enough said.
