Evelyn Waugh's masterful depiction of World War II now in a beautiful hardback edition with a new Introduction by Martin StannardWaugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback a Catholic and a gentleman commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia he discovers not heroism but humanity. Sword of Honour combines three volumes: Officers and Gentlemen Men at Arms and Unconditional Surrender which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh they were published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965 in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.'Marvellous ... one of the masterpieces of the century'John Banville Irish Times
