From Goodreads:
Mother Night is a daring challenge to our moral sense. American Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a spy during World War II, is now on trial in Israel as a Nazi war criminal. But is he really guilty? In this brilliant book rife with true gallows humor, Vonnegut turns black and white into a chilling shade of gray with a verdict that will haunt us all
Questions:
1. Do you believe in "The end justifies the means"?
2. What defines morality and what is moral? Is it society? Is it your personal compass?
3. Do you believe that there's inherently good and there's evil people, or that there afe different perceptives of what people are like?
