Catch-22: 50th Anniversary Edition

"Even better than you remember from high school!"—Michael Gerber 

This definitive edition of Joseph Heller’s classic has a new introduction, critical essays and reviews, rare papers and photos, and more.

Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of Yossarian, who is furious because thousands of strangers are trying to kill him. But his real problem is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. He's trapped by Catch-22: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.
