Synopsis: The New York Timesbestseller-a gripping posthumous collection of previously unpublished work by Kurt Vonnegut on the subject of war. A fitting tribute to a literary legend and a profoundly humane humorist, Armageddon in Retrospectis a collection of twelve previously unpublished writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonneguts trademark rueful humor and outraged moral sense, the pieces range from a letter written by Vonnegut to his family in 1945, informing them that hed been taken prisoner by the Germans, to his last speech, delivered after his death by his son Mark, who provides a warmly personal introduction to the collection. Taken together, these pieces provide fresh insight into Vonneguts enduring literary genius and reinforce his ongoing moral relevance in todays world.
