| Notes: | Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction. A 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. COMMENTS — Wouk won the Pulitzer Prize for The Caine Mutiny. If you want more of Wouk on the war, you can read the huge The Winds of War and its even larger sequel, War and Remembrance. |
