Slaughterhouse-Five (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations (Hardcover))

Captured by Germans in World War II, soldier Kurt Vonnegut and other prisoners of war were taken to Dresden, Germany. Several weeks later, American and British planes firebombed Dresden. Amazingly, the prisoners survived. Vonnegut spent two decades coming to grips with the experience. This title is his ultimate response to the ordeal.
