Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

Smedley Butler is a major general with five medals for heroism and one of nineteen men to receive two medals of honor. He fought in the trenches through WWI and the Mexican Revolution (yes there was an American side). General Butler was an officer in WWII and more secretly the banana wars of Central America, The Caribbean, The Philippines and China. Didja know the DuPont dynasties portfolio grew 950% during the US’s short involvement in WWI? Have you ever took a ganger at the Bush’s Halliburton holdings during both of our invasions of Iraq? This short book that once was a bestseller will act as an introduction for larger reads to come like The Devils Chessboard, revealing secret truces amongst WWII and the beneficiaries of war utilizing their highest form of racket-try.
