Robert F. Boland's New Book "War Is a Racket II" Is a Scathing Commentary on the American Political Class and an Examination of the Motives Behind All Us Wars Since 1847
Recent release "War Is a Racket II: How the United States Government Manipulated the Country into Unnecessary Wars and Military Interventions" from Page Publishing author Robert F. Boland is a critical analysis of American foreign policy theorizing that all military conflicts, from the Revolutionary War onward, have been motivated not by the national interest, but the personal interests of those in power.
CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Robert F. Boland, a Vietnam veteran who served in the US Marine Corps infantry and intelligence divisions and currently lives in Chandler, Arizona with his wife, has completed his new book "War Is a Racket II: How the United States Government Manipulated the Country into Unnecessary Wars and Military Interventions": a thought-provoking thesis examining US military history and the factors precipitating US involvement.
Boland writes, "This is not an anti-war book. Rather, the book is about the bad behavior of the US government in Washington, DC, in taking the country into military adventures when it is not necessary. To state that the country should never go to war would be irresponsible. Wars cannot always be avoided.
A characteristic of the United States foreign policy establishment is their refusal to admit they made a mistake. There are never any consequences for invading the wrong country. The establishment carries on as if everything is okay, and they quickly forget about the dead and crippled.
Currently, the US has approximately 800 bases in seventy countries. As of November 2016, the US was dropping bombs on seven different countries.
This book does not favor either political party. However, some may disagree.
In 1935, retired General Smedley Butler published a small book entitled "War Is a Racket", which explained how and why the US Government manipulates the country into various wars and military interventions for power and their own selfish interest. This is an update on General Butler's 1935 book. Most of us have heard or read the following words many times. We are forced to go to war or do a military intervention to save our liberty and freedom, to make the world safe for democracy, a war to end all wars, to save the world from communist or whatever, to protect American lives, to save the world from a country that might possess weapons of mass destruction, etc.
This is a book explaining how the United States government manipulated and lied its way into a number of wars and military interventions. This information will not normally be taught in your school history class or viewed on your history channel. This is not conspiracy theory stuff. You can look it all up. This information is available to all citizens if they care to research it. Some of this information may shock you."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Robert F. Boland's eye-opening book is a critical analysis of the motives behind US entry into military conflicts from the Revolutionary War through the Iraq War.
