    Love the message of this book and don’t doubt that there are those who profit from war but this book lacks citations to backup any of the claims.

    This book was written over 80 years ago, but it’s lessons still ring true today. Quick , short read only hitting high points but he’s right that the biggest benefactors of war pay no price for the cost of the hellish mess, while those that don’t profit(soldiers) pay the highest price—-doesn’t sound like capitalism to me and I’m all about the free market.
