Catch 22 : the book needs this guide

Easily over thirty years of trying. I appreciate the importance of the title, but the it is a difficult story to follow. I understand that is for a reason, it's part of the story. Life is difficult to make sense of, particularly war so be it. I may approach the story again but I appreciate the map.
