Herman Wouk, the versatile, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such million-selling novels as "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Winds of War" whose steady Jewish faith inspired his stories of religious values and secular success, died on Friday at 103. A film adaptation, starring Humphrey Bogart, came out in 1954 and Wouk turned the courtroom scene into the play "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial." In 2008, Wouk received the first ever Library of Congress Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Writing of Fiction. But like "The Caine Mutiny," the novel sold millions and was made into a movie, starring Natalie Wood. Captain Queeg, for example, may be a villain in popular culture, but "The Caine Mutiny" was not "Catch-22."
