The Novel that Inspired the Now-Classic Film The Caine Mutiny and the Hit Broadway Play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial 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 become a perennial favorite of readers young and old, has sold millions of copies throughout the world, and has achieved the status of a modern classic.

reviewed Caine Mutiny on February 05, 2019 Caine Mutiny
I first read The Caine Mutiny thirty or more years ago and absolutely loved it. This was before I caught the writing bug and started putting out my own novels. I look at books differently now more with an eye to the craft of writing. I thought I'd give The Caine Mutiny another whirl (after I'd read Youngblood Hawk, which was an absolute amazing book). The Caine Mutiny was still grand and I liked it although not quite as much as Youngblood. Wouk received the Pulitzer for The Caine Mutiny and I think it was due in part to the time of the release and the themes that made it prize worthy. Don't get me wrong the writing was marvelous and Caine is probably a much more accessible book for readers in general. So as far as writing and character and story, I think Youngblood is better.
While reading Youngblood I found it interesting that the main character is an author living in New York in 1947 who also wins the Pulitzer Prize. This same author in the book spent time in the military, as did Wouk. The character in the story also wrote a military book. I have yet to read a biography on Wouk but I can easily imagine that The Caine Mutiny was based to some degree on his time spent in the military, and Youngblood was based on his life as an author. I will continue now reading through the rest of Wouk in the hopes that the rest of his work carries equal weight.
