About This Item
A rare signature from Butler on his military biography. He was an extremely popular figure who was the most-decorated Marine in history at the time of his retirement. In the '30s Butler underwent a political reawakening, condemning war and its profiteers with his classic book War is a Racket. He also had helped to expose a plot by American industrialists to stage a fascist coup against FDR.
