I cheated with this one... from the back cover "a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes the necessary formal request to be relieved of such missions, the very act of making the request proves that he is sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved."
review:
This is a classic of American Literature that I agree deserves to be called a classic. It is witty and looks at some hard hitting realities while still making us laugh (and then feel bad for it). I really makes us feel the insanity of war, or at least tries to with some success. The writing style is unique and engaging, you will never forget the feelings it left you with. The characters are all really well written and their stories are ones you want to know more about. I recommend anyone who likes compelling stories written in a memorable way.
8/10
