First edition, in first state jacket, of Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of conflict and mistrust aboard a destroyer, adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Humphrey Bogart. Herman Wouk drew on his own experiences aboard destroyers in the Pacific theater to craft his narrative of internal and external conflicts. Rather than being an action-packed reflection on the adventure of war, THE CAINE MUTINY focuses on the minutia and procedures that keep the war machine turning, and the tough decisions that must be made when things break down With Humphrey Bogart in the indelible role of the unstable Lieutenant Commander Queeg, the 1954 Hollywood adaptation of the novel was the second-highest grossing film of the year. An enormous bestseller at the time, the true first edition is uncommon. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth binding with silver lettering to spine. Original unclipped ($3.95) color pictorial first state ("The City Boy"; no mention of Pulitzer price: see Sarner) dust jacket, illustrated by John Hull. Cartographic endpapers of the cruise of the Caine. 494 pages. Jacket with edgewear, some loss to top of spine and a few spots of soil. Clean and sharp overall. Near fine in very good dust jacket.
