What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first UK edition, fifth impression, published in the same year as the first. In the publisher's original dust wrapper, price clipped.
Catch-22 is often cited as one of the most significant novels of the twentieth century.
Set during World War II, from 1942 to 1944, it mainly follows the life of antihero Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier. The novel examines the absurdity of war and military life through the experiences of Yossarian and his cohorts, who attempt to maintain their sanity while fulfilling their service requirements so that they may return home.
