Books like Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-five

I've only read the original, which in some respects is auto-biographical, in that Vonnegut was a prisoner-of-war in Dresden, and survived the Dresden firebombing. My interest in this is that my grandmother also survived the Dresden bombing, in a building that was the only one still standing for blocks in every direction. The bombing was an allied payback for the equally senseless German bombing of Coventry. The latter was allowed to happen so the Germans would not be tipped off that the British had broken the Luftwaffe Enigma code, by efforts that involved Alan Turing and many others at Benchley Park more of less in the center of England.Now Dresden and Coventry are sister cities, and the famous Frauenkirche in Dresden (which was meticulously restored only after the reunification of Germany after the Soviet Union collapsed) is crowned by an Angel blowing a trumpet. This Angel was fashioned by a craftsman from Coventry, whose father had been in one of the British bombers, where it was said that during the raid one could read maps illuminated by the inferno below.This has little to do with Vonnegut's book, but to tell more about it would be a spoiler. At least one film was made of the book, but there is no substitute to reading the original. (I guess now I have to read the book mentioned above...)
