The Caine Mutiny — Herman Wouk

Over two years a national bestseller, The Caine Mutiny is Herman Wouk's compelling Pulitzer Prize novel of the U.S. Navy in World War II -- of Captain Queeg, the nervous, despotic commanding officer of the Caine; of Willie Keith, the careless, fun-loving Princeton boy tempered to manhood in the crucible of battle; of Barney Greenwald, brilliant, enigmatic defense lawyer; and of the typhoon which caught them up in a searing drama of mutiny, court-martial, and mortal fear.
