The Caine Mutiny is a 1951 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel by Herman Wouk.
Description
The novel grew out of Wouk's personal experiences aboard a destroyer-minesweeper in the Pacific in World War II and deals with, among other things, the moral and ethical decisions made at sea by the captains of ships.
The mutiny of the title is legalistic, not violent, and takes place during a historic typhoon in December 1944.
The court-martial that results provides the dramatic climax to the plot.
