The True Story of Catch 22 : The Reality that Inspired one of the Great Classics in American Literature
Overview
Here is the authoritative companion to Joseph Heller's Catch-22, written by the daughter of the 340th Bomb Group's final commander who was the seed for Colonel Cathcart in Catch-22. In rich and vibrant color, the full-blown illustrated characters of the original novel surge forward to face their true-life counterparts in the manner of Catch-22, sometimes irreverent, sly, subtle, and always funny.
This edition is enriched by the inclusion of a bold center section of full-color illustrations of Catch-22's fictitious characters contrasting with their true-life, wartime counterparts. Also introduced are films, untouched since World War II ended, that were discovered recently deep in the National Archives. From this footage, copious, never-before-published stills are here extracted of the 340th Bomb Group. Astonishingly, they contain substantial, rare, and touching appearances by Joseph Heller - warrior before writer.
