Publisher Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a perennial favorite of readers young and old, Herman Wouk's masterful World War II drama set aboard a U.S. Navy warship in the Pacific is "a novel of brilliant virtuosity" (Times Literary Supplement).
Herman Wouk's boldly dramatic, brilliantly entertaining novel of life--and mutiny--on a Navy warship in the Pacific theater was immediately embraced, upon its original publication in 1951, as one of the first serious works of American fiction to grapple with the moral complexities and the human consequences of World War II.
In the intervening half century, The Caine Mutiny has sold millions of copies throughout the world, and has achieved the status of a modern classic.

The Caine Mutiny
Great story! Great writing!
The Caine Mutiny
I first read this book in the 1950’s. The characters and story have stayed with me. It is one of my favorite books of all time.
The Caine Mutiny
Having completed a 22 year Navy career (20 years ago this month) as first an enlisted man and then a Naval Officer and Aviator, I have read this outstanding story ten or fifteen times! It is, without question, the finest novel and story of the sea I have ever read. My first impulse on reading the very last sentence is to turn back to page one and start anew. No book has brought me more joy in my entire life.
