Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923– December 12,1999)
Before writing Catch-22, Joseph Heller served as a bombardier in World War II and flew 60 combat missions over France and Italy.
That experience became the seed of one of the most famous anti-war novels of the 20th century - a book where war is shown not as noble glory, but as a terrifying system of fear, paperwork, commands, and absurd rules.

“You’re right, you’re right, you’re right.
The hot dog. The Brooklyn Dodgers. Mom’s apple pie.
That’s what everyone’s fighting for.But who’s fighting for the decent folk?
Who’s fighting for more votes for the decent folk?There’s no patriotism — that’s what it is.
And no matriotism either.”

It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” Joseph Heller, Catch-22
