'''Catch-22''' was a 1961 anti-war novel by Joseph Heller.  It deals with Armenian-American bombardier John Yossarian.  Yossarian is stationed on the Italian island of Pianosa during [[World War II]].  He attempts to get out of flying more combat missions by pretending to be crazy.  The problem is, only a sane man would want to get out of combat, therefore Yossarian cannot be considered crazy.
