GANGSTERS OF CAPITALISM: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire
Smedley Butler was the most celebrated warfighter of his time. From his first days as a 16 year old recruit at Guantanamo Bay, he blazed a path for empire: helping annex the Philippines and the land for the Panama Canal, leading troops in China, and helping invade and occupy Nicaragua and more. Yet in his retirement he turned into a warrior against war, imperialism, and big business. Photos.
