Synopsis
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.

From the Back Cover
Pulp History brings to life extraordinary feats of bravery, violence, and redemption that history has forgotten. These stories are so dramatic and thrilling they have to be true.
In DEVIL DOG, the most decorated Marine in history fights for America across the globe―and returns home to set his country straight.
Smedley Butler took a Chinese bullet to the chest at age eighteen, but that did not stop him from running down rebels in Nicaragua and Haiti, or from saving the lives of his men in France. But when he learned that America was trading the blood of Marines to make Wall Street fat cats even fatter, Butler went on a crusade. He threw the gangsters out of Philadelphia, faced down Herbert Hoover to help veterans, and blew the lid off a plot to overthrow FDR.
