Synopsis A posthumous collection of stories and nonfiction from that bleakly brilliant humorist, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., ARMAGEDDON IN RETROSPECT contains a few unseen gems from his life, including a 1954 letter he wrote to his family telling them that he was alive after being held prisoner by the German army, and a speech written shortly before his death--a sardonic attack on war and human hubris.
