Catch-22 (Everyman's Library classics) (ISBN 1857152204)

Greatest of its kind:
Catch-22 is the greatest novel of its kind. In all of humorist literature no author captures the moments of its characters so fully. All of the characters jump out from the pages with their realistic qualities and depth of construct. The humor follows through serious and tragic circumstances to help the reader realize the ludicrosity of war. This is the great predecessor to the pop-culture phenomenon of M*A*S*H. Not only are you left rolling with laughter at the events of Catch-22 as well as the illogical baseness of military thought, but you are left shaking your head at the parallel of unimaginable events to modern historical events. The treatment is timeless and the laughter is limitless. The advantage of this edition, as with all Everyman's Library editions, is the quality of binding and thorough chronology of the author as a preset to the text.
