Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En 1933, Smedley D. Butler se vio envuelto en una intriga política conocida como el «Business Plot», cuando declaró ante un comité del Congreso que un grupo de empresarios ricos estaba planeando un golpe militar para derrocar al presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, y que el propio Butler había sido seleccionado para liderar una marcha de veteranos que llevarían al poder al nuevo dictador, de forma similar a los regímenes fascistas de la época. Todos los implicados negaron la existencia de un complot, y los medios de comunicación ridiculizaron las acusaciones, pero un informe final de un comité especial de la Cámara de Representantes confirmó algunos de los testimonios de Butler. Posteriormente, Butler se convirtió en un crítico abierto de las guerras estadounidenses y sus consecuencias. En 1935, Butler escribió este libro, La guerra es una atrocidad, en el que describe y critica el funcionamiento de Estados Unidos en sus intervenciones y guerras en el extranjero, como aquellas en las que él había participado, incluyendo las grandes corporaciones estadounidenses y otras motivaciones imperialistas detrás de las guerras de Estados Unidos. Tras retirarse del servicio, se consagró a ofrecer discursos en reuniones organizadas por veteranos, pacifistas y grupos eclesiásticos en la década de 1930. 10 *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
