| Description: |
Devil Dog is the amazing and true story of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, one of the most decorated Marines in American history. |
| 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. |
