SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE OR THE CHILDRENS CRUSADE A Duty-dance with Death KURT VONNEGUT, JR. A fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod [and smoking too much], who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, The Florence of the Elbe, a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale. This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from. Peace. Granada Publishing Limited Published in 1972 by Panther Books Ltd Frogmore, St Albans, Herts AL2 2NF Reprinted 1972, 1973 (twice), 1974, 1975 First published in Great Britain by Jonathan Cape Ltd 1970 Copyright (D Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 1969 Made and printed in Great Britain by Richard Clay (The Chaucer Press) Ltd Bungy, Suffolk Set in Linotype Plantin This book is sold subject to the condition that it shall not, by way of trade or otherwise, be lent, re-sold, hired out or otherwise circulated without the publishers prior consent in any form of binding or cover other than that in which it is published and without a similar condition including this condition being imposed on the subsequent purchaser.
