Armageddon in Retrospect

from $5.48

Armageddon in Retrospect could be a good read for those who enjoy dark humour and introspective writing that reflects on the ugliness of humanity's tendency towards violence. The book is a collection of essays on war, peace and humanity's violent nature, which are imbued with Vonnegut's trademark mordant wit. Of note is his visceral non-fiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden and a painfully funny short story about three soldiers and their fantasies of the perfect meal. Overall, the book is a fitting tribute to the author and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace and humanity's violent nature.
