He also wrote THE AFRICAN QUEEN and more contemporary books set during World War II. Patrick O’Brian has penned numerous epics, also taking place in the Napoleonic era, featuring British captain Jack Aubrey and physician Stephen Maturin. World War II brought readers the great CAINE MUTINY by Herman Wouk. Humphrey Bogart’s Captain Queeg is an iconic, unforgettable film portrayal. Read More
