War is nasty and bloody and Joseph Heller's Catch-22 captures the insanity of war.
In Modern Critical Interpretations of Joseph Heller's Catch-22 edited by Harold Bloom is a comprehensive collection of an evaluation and criticism of his seminal work.
At the time of its publication, Catch-22 was deemed as an insane perspective of the inner world of the military. The biggest enemy was not the ones abroad but the internal strife of the chain of command.
This book deconstructs a classic and puts the work in a historic and literary context.
