This is a review for Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money written by The Honorable Allen B. Clark that I received a copy of in exchange for this book.
I would like to let you know Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money isn’t a book I would normally read. But the more of the Press Release I read the more I could hear my dad saying I want to read this book. Then I moved the Press Release over and began to think of my father in law.
Before I knew what was happening I asked for a copy when Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money arrived David picked up the book and asked Charlie to help him read it. The more I listened the more intrigued I became.
David and I talked about Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money and how he incorprates God into his life David and I decided this is the perfect book to use in Charlie’s Homeschool History Class. Although we read the book together at night as a family and discuss what we’ve read. Would you like to join us?
About:
Controversial, scholarly and meticulously researched, Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money from retired Army Captain Allen B. Clark, a West Point graduate who was severely wounded in Vietnam, is an eye-opening look at the real reasons why the United States and other world powers have started Wars despite the horrendous casualties to combatants and Civilians.
Midwest Book Review calls it, “A detailed and fascinating read from cover to cover, and especially recommended for personal, community, college, and university library collections … a compelling and detailed exposé of how the desire for power, wealth and fame on the part of a few has wrought such horrific devastation on the many with respect to the Wars and rumors of War throughout the last the last 300 years of American history.”

Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money Delivers Hard-Hitting History Lesson
Dallas, TX, October 6, 2022 — Allen B. Clark returned from the Vietnam War a double-leg amputee. It took 15 months of rehabilitation, 20 surgeries, eight years of psychotherapy and his faith in God to help him heal.
Through the years, Clark became involved in Politics and was eventually appointed as an assistant Secretary at the National Department of Veterans Affairs. It was through that appointment where Clark met and mentored hundreds of Veterans and listened to their stories. The blood lost — the lives lost — haunted him, and he began to study the history of wars intensely. The undertaking consumed him, and he didn’t stop until he uncovered what he calls “the story behind the story” of why the United States gets involved in wars.
“In Latin, it’s cui bono? — who profits?” Clark said.
In his revealing new book, Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money: Wars and the Ruling Elites, Clark shares the results of his extensive and concentrated research. His findings, drawn from sources published as far back as 150 years ago, point to individuals and institutions throughout history who have fostered and fomented horrendous Wars, including arms merchants; religious entities and their leaders; politicians; international bankers; media titans; and lawyers.
With a special focus on the American Revolution, Civil War, Spanish-American War and the “Banana, Banker and Oil” Wars in the Americas, Soldiers’ Blood and Bloodied Money aims to reveal the political, financial, business, religious, Social and propaganda truths behind the initiation of Wars.
“These truths illustrate that we young Patriots, who have gone off to fight in Wars, are merely pawns in a much larger chess game of life — a game where the captains and kings and knights and bishops are the ones who often profit immeasurably in terms of financial gain or increases in power,” Clark wrote in his book. “Meanwhile, we perish or suffer immense physical and emotional wounds from which many of us never heal.”
