Devil Dog: The Amazing True Story of the Man Who Saved America

By David Talbot and Amparo Ortiz

Devil's Dogis an amazing, illustrated true-life tale of the Marine who fought around the globe and blew the lid off a plot against FDR-combining the best of nonfiction and graphic narratives in a thrilling new format. Major General Smedley Darlington Butler joined the Marine Corps at age sixteen, and two years later took a Chinese bullet to the chest. Butler then fought in Haiti, Nicaragua, and France-and then realized that "war is a racket." Back home, he cleaned up crime in Philadelphia, faced down Herbert Hoover to help destitute veterans, and foiled a plot against FDR masterminded by J.P. Morgan and the DuPonts.

Don't let the cover fool you

This is a book about an amazing American that few have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Don't let the illustrated style decieve you, there's a wonderful story inside. It is not a scholarly work, more like a introduction to an era in American history (1900-1937) as witnessed by Smedley D. Butler.
