When the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Caine is transferred during operations in the Pacific theatre, a new captain, strict disciplinarian Philip Francis Queeg, replaces him. But Queeg's actions go beyond strictness into psychopathology as he brings the ship and its crew to the brink of destruction. This necessitates a brutal shipboard court-martial that threatens by turns to clear or condemn him. It is a novel hailed as one of the first serious works of American fiction to grapple with the moral complexities and the human consequences of World War II.
