You are correct. Paperback from Feral House. No. 20,914 in sales at
Barnes & Noble. And apparently the book _is_ the speech! #9.95 from
Barnes & Noble.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Originally printed in 1935, War Is a Racket is General Smedley Butler's
frank speech describing his role as a soldier as nothing more than
serving as a puppet for big-business interests. In addition to photos
from the notorious 1932 anti-war book The Horror of It by Frederick A.
Barber, this book includes two never-before-published
anti-interventionist essays by General Butler. The introduction
discusses why General Butler went against the corporate war machine and
how he exposed a fascist coup d'etat plot against President Franklin
Roosevelt. Widely appreciated and referenced by by left- and
right-wingers alike, this is an extraordinary argument against war -
more relevant now than ever.
