Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. His real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service.

Never has a book been laughed and wept over so many times * Guardian * To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one -- Stephen King Catch-22 is the only war novel I've ever read that makes any sense -- Harper Lee The war novel to end all war novels * Independent * Blessedly, monstrously, bloatedly, cynically funny and fantastically unique. No one has ever written a book like this * Financial Times *
