And Prescott Bush was part of a group of American businessmen who tried to pull off a coup in which they planned to remove FDR from office. They hired Smedley Butler to lead it; he refused; and the plot fell apart. If not for Smedley Butler's telling of the story and how shocked he was, we'd most likely never have known about it. Read his "War is a Racket" to learn what this former commandant of the Marines thought about these people.
