In addition to his 1932 call-to-action, \"You've Got to Get Mad,\" this volume includes his explosive 1934 testimony before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee. There, Butler exposed \"The Business Plot\"—a conspiracy by a group of Wall Street and other powerful figures that sought to convince Buter to use his influence over disgruntled veterans to seize control of the federal government and install a fascist regime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith America’s present day military activity more closely tied to corporate profits and the enrichment of its leaders than ever, Butler’s insightful breakdown of the military-industrial complex remains highly resonant. Featuring a new introduction from combat veteran and advocate Kristofer Goldsmith, this edition is an essential resource for anyone looking to build their antifascist toolkit.","brand":"Steerforth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48378836418815,"sku":"9781586424626","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781586424626_s600x595.jpg?v=1779819589","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781586424626","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
