Sample Book Insights:
#1 Smedley Darlington Butler, a retired major general, spoke to the Bonus Army in July 1932. He told them that if they didn't hang together, they weren't worth a damn. He urged them to vote in November and punish those who were against them.
#2 The government, under orders from President Herbert Hoover, led troops in driving the Bonus Army out of Washington. They burned down their shacktowns, and some of them began to riot against Congress if they didn't provide them with relief.
#3 In 1933, General Butler was visited by two veterans, Bill Doyle and Gerald C. MacGuire, who came to him with a plan to overthrow the American Legion's leadership.
#4 When he heard that the President had rejected his name on the guest list for the Legion convention, he was puzzled. He didn't understand why the President would be so displeased with him.
