50th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION As a young man and a prisoner of
war, Kurt Vonnegut witnessed the 1945 US fire-bombing of Dresden in
Germany, which reduced the once proudly beautiful city to rubble
and claimed the lives of thousands of its citizens. For many years,
Kurt tried to write about Dresden but the words would not come.
When he did write about it, he combined his trademark humour,
unfettered imagination, boundless humanity and keen sense of irony
to create one of the most powerful anti-war books every written,
and an enduring American classic. This special edition is published
with notes of appreciation from some of the book's ardent fans
(Kate Atkinson, Richard Herring, Robin Ince) as well as fascinating
extra material from Vonnegut's archive which casts light on the
genesis, reception and enduring influence of an iconic American
classic. Design (c) DIEGO BECAS

This edition's cover looks a bit tacky when you see it in person. I'd opt for a different edition. Legendary book though!
