Armageddon in Restrospect

The 1st & only collection of unpublished works by Kurt Vonnegut since his death—a fitting tribute to the author, & a contribution to the discussion of war, peace & humanity’s tendency toward violence.
Armageddon in Retrospect: And Other New and Unpublished Writing on War and Peace is a collection of twelve new & unpublished writings on war & peace. Imbued with Vonnegut’s trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during WWII—an essay that is as timely today as it was then—to a painfully funny short story about three Army privates & their fantasies of the perfect 1st meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included are his last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, & an introduction by his son, Mark Vonnegut.
