A review by vanerpje
Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire by Jonathan M. Katz

5.0

This book was an excellent surprise. I expected a biography of Smedley Butler, cumulating with a discussion of the attempted coup by American businessmen. What I read was much broader than that, including a discussion about the expansion of American Empire across three continents.
