In particular, it is a novel against war. Kurt Vonnegut promised to show the cruelty of war in his book, for he himself experienced the bombings in Dresden as a soldier in World War 2 when he was almost a child.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>is a novel by\u00a0Kurt Vonnegut, written in 1969.
