About the book

Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy follows Guy Crouchback, an idealistic English Catholic who enters military service during the Second World War believing that the conflict will give his life renewed purpose. Instead, he encounters bureaucracy, incompetence, confusion and moral compromise. Through Guy's experiences in training, combat and military administration, Waugh combines dark comedy with a serious examination of honour, faith and disillusionment. The trilogy is widely regarded as one of the finest literary treatments of the Second World War.
