TL;DR: The anti-war message in many of Vonnegut's novels was expressed in the Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) as discussed by the authors, which states that it is pointless to write an antiwar book because wars are as easy to stop as glaciers.
Abstract: World War II is a central component in many of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels; he uses the topic of war to advocate altruism. As stated in Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), Vonnegut understands that it is pointless to write an antiwar book because wars are “as easy to stop as glaciers,” yet, arguably, many of his novels still impart an antiwar message.
