Smedley Butler or, "The Making and Breaking of America's Empire" (with author Jonathan M. Katz)
This week I'm joined by Jonathan Katz, author of Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire. On today's episode we talk about ALL of it: American imperialism, the Bonus Army March of WWI vets, an attempted fascist coup against FDR, and the Imperialist-With-A-Heart-Of-Gold (?) at the center of it all: Smedley Butler.
