Discover Joseph Heller's hilarious and tragic satire on military
madness, and the tale of one man's efforts to survive it.
It’s the closing months of World War II and Yossarian has never been
closer to death. Stationed in an American bomber squadron off the coast
of Italy, each flight mission introduces him to thousands of people
determined to kill him.
But the enemy above is not Yossarian’s problem – it is his own army
intent on keeping him airborne, and the maddening ‘Catch-22’ that
allows for no possibility of escape.
