Catherine The Great Maria Theresa

desired quicker results. They were impatient with
all that stood in the way of their reforms. In
addition, they justified their authority on the
grounds of usefulne...

Contemporary Literary Criticism World War Ii

the minds of people everywhere as much as World
War II has. This war brought about some of the
worst violations of human rights ever seen. The
German military created a system for the public to
follow, and if the individual opposed, he was
oppressed. This kind of mentality is presented in
the novel, Catch- 22 (1955). Joseph Heller uses
the insane situations of the setting and his
characters to show a unique perspective on World
War II. A small Army...
