Having inspired a classic film and Broadway play, The Caine Mutiny is Herman Wouk's boldly dramatic, brilliantly entertaining novel of life—and mutiny—on a Navy warship in the Pacific theater. It was immediately embraced upon its original publication as one of the first serious works of American fiction to grapple with the moral complexities and the human consequences of the Second World War. In the intervening half century, this gripping story has become a perennial favorite, selling millions throughout the world, and claiming the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Leadership at sea

My 3rd Wouk. I really enjoyed this - especially reading with an eye on leadership and how Willy's views of Queeg as he matured. It makes me want to see the movie again, but as I recall, the movie focuses more on the ship - Queeg and the mutiny, and not about Willy Keith as a young Princeton graduate as he matures through the book.

Excellent narrator!

Listened to War and Remembrance and Winds of War by same author and narrator so went looking for other books with the same combination. Well written, different perspective of the second world war. Excellent book.

Great Listen

Would you listen to The Caine Mutiny again? Why?

The Caine Mutiny was an interesting read. I'm not big on military novels but this one kept me listening.

Long Journey

I enjoyed this listening book for the most part though listening to captain Queig during the long middle of the book was very tiresome and annoying. his nasal voice was hard to listen to--that's where I gave the performance three stars instead of four. I wish the book had different readers instead of one reader. it was indeed like listening to an insane man speak. It was an interesting story and I really loved Willy Keith's evolution of character. the trial was also very interesting.
