The storming of the Capitol on January 6 wasn't the first time rightwingers have attempted to overthrow the government. In 1933, business leaders plotted to remove President Roosevelt from office and install one of their own. How close did it come to succeeding?

Smedley Butler is a fascinating figure that I can't quite figure out. At two time Medal Of Honor winner, he wrote the book "War Is A Racket."
