What a delightful story! Mister Major is able to save the Sicilian town on Adano from themselves following the America. Invasion during WWII. But, in Catch-22 fashion, a good deed is never left unpunished. High comedy and hijinx abound in this wonderful story of the clash of two cultures and one man’s attempt to breathe some sanity into a crazy situation. Absolutely deserving of the 1945 Pulitzer Prize!

My votable list of Pulitzer winners which I have read (only have the 40s, 50s, and 60s to finish!):
