Catch-22: 50th Anniversary Edition

Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, Joseph Heller's classic satire remains undiminished 50 years on. Reading this novel is considered a rite of passage for many. Set in the closing months of World War II, this book follows bombardier Yossarian, who is frantic because thousands of strangers are trying to kill him. His primary conflict, however, is with his own army, which continually increases the required number of missions for service completion.

Yossarian's dilemma is encapsulated in Catch-22: if he attempts to excuse himself from missions, he is caught. If he flies, he is deemed insane and excused; but if he refuses to fly, he is considered sane and must continue flying perilous missions. That is the catch.
