Armageddon in Retrospect is a poignant collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace, imbued with Kurt Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor. This collection, published on the first anniversary of Vonnegut's death, offers profound insights into the harrowing realities and moral complexities of warfare.

Within these pages, you will find essays such as an exploration of the destruction of Dresden and a story that delves into the first-meal fantasies of three soldiers. Vonnegut also provides a meditation on the impossibility of shielding children from the temptations of violence.

Through his unique lens, Vonnegut challenges readers to reflect on the human condition, the folly of conflict, and the enduring quest for peace. This collection is a must-read for those who appreciate thought-provoking literature that blends humor with profound philosophical questions.
