I just found a book published in April 2008, about a year after he died. It's called Armegeddon in Retrospect and Other New and Unpublished Writings on War and Peace. The book begins with a letter Kurt wrote home while waiting in the Le Havre POW Repatriation Camp. It's been posted here: the letter itself from this book and a transcription. We'll talk more as I read this inspiring book. Here's the letter:

I love that letter, I've read it several times. fred posted it here a while back. If someone has not read Vonnegut, I think that letter would be a nice way to prime the pump and get them interested. He was fantastic.

Enjoy the rest of the read.
