Synopsis: Catch-22 is a satirical 1961 novel by Joseph Heller, set during World War II, that follows U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier Captain John Yossarian as he tries to survive the war and the absurd, circular logic of the military bureaucracy, particularly the titular "Catch-22" rule that prevents men from being grounded for insanity if they request it, as the request itself proves they are sane.
