H.L. Mencken
Notes on Democracy
Even if you think you have read it all, this book will rattle you to the very core, for it causes a rethinking of the whole structure of the political system.

When "War is a Racket" was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time.

Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare.
