Catch-22

Joseph Heller

A darkly comic novel set during World War II that follows Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier, as he attempts to maintain his sanity while fulfilling his service requirements. The story satirizes military bureaucracy through the paradoxical Catch-22 rule, which ensures that concern for one's own safety in the face of real danger is proof of sanity, but requesting relief from dangerous missions is evidence of insanity.
