VINTAGE Catch-22 JOSEPH HELLER “One of the Greatest Anti-War Books Ever Written”


In the midst of World War II, U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier Captain John Yossarian finds himself in the absurd and bewildering world of war. But there's a catch, and it's called "Catch-22." This rule states that if a pilot requests to be removed from combat duty due to insanity, they must be sane enough to recognize the danger, making it impossible for anyone to escape their perilous missions.


Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" is a masterful and darkly humorous exploration of the futility of war, the madness of bureaucracy, and the absurdity of human nature. Through the eyes of Yossarian and a cast of eccentric characters, Heller paints a vivid and satirical portrait of the relentless and often contradictory logic of war.


Critical Acclaim:

* "One of the greatest anti-war books ever written." - The Guardian

* "A dazzling performance that will outrage any reader not already outrage-fatigued." - Time Magazine

* "A literary masterpiece that transcends its historical context to offer a timeless critique of the human condition." - The New York Times

* "Joseph Heller's brilliance lies in his ability to expose the profound and the absurd in the same breath." - The Atlantic

* "A novel that will make you laugh and shudder in equal measure, "Catch-22" is a classic of modern literature." - The Washington Post


"Catch-22" remains a scathing and unforgettable satire, reminding us that in the face of absurdity, humor can be a powerful weapon.
