Catch-22

by Joseph Heller

Arguably the best novel to come out of World War II, in which Heller strips away the veneer of martial glory to expose its insanity, and gives our language a new paradoxical phrase to describe mankind at the mercy of its own institutions.

Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller was an American satirical novelist, short story writer, and playright. He died in December 1999.
