Book Description
Billy Pilgrim - hapless barber's assistant, successful optometrist, alien abductee, senile widower, and soldier - has become unstuck in time.
Hiding in the basement of a slaughterhouse in Dresden, with the city and its inhabitants burning above him, he finds himself a survivor of one of the most deadly and destructive battles of the Second World War. From Dresden’s burning city to later life in America, leaping through time and space, Slaughterhouse 5 explores what war does to the mind and why remembering matters.
