We establish the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the three space dimensions with general initial data which could be either vacuum or non-vacuum under the assumption that the viscosity coefficient ?? is large enough.
