"Armageddon in Retrospect" is a collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonnegutas trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War IIaan essay that is as timely today as it was thenato a painfully funny short story about three Army privates and their fantasies of the perfect first 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 Vonnegutas last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, and an introduction by the authoras son, Mark Vonnegut. "Armageddon in Retrospect" says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the writer., The first and only collection of unpublished works by Kurt Vonnegut since his death is a fitting tribute to the author and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace, and humanity's tendency toward violence., View our feature on Kurt Vonnegut's Armageddon in Retrospect . Published on the first anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death in April 2007, Armageddon in Retrospect is a collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace. Written with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War II-a piece that is as timely today as it was then-to a painfully funny story about three privates and their fantasies of the perfect first meal upon returning home from war; to a darker and more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. This is a volume that says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the man who wrote it. Also included here is Vonnegut's last speech, as well as an assortment of his drawings, and an introduction by the author's son, Mark Vonnegut.

    Great card and quick prompt service, my problem is I was charged 5.95 for shipping and seller used a 97cent option to ship pwe instead of using Ground advantage with tracking which is the 5.95 service I paid for unfortunately I understand it's possibly a mistake but if you charged me 6 bucks and sent it for under a dollar I'd expect a refund for the difference. It was a 3.45 card so I'm not worried about the price but it's the bad business practices that bother me.

    Situation where seller accidentally sent me the wrong card. Not able to send me this card that I had purchased sent me a substitute card in its place. Mistakes can happen in this business and, this seller was very professional in fixing this mistake. I appreciate it this very much.
