Description
Guy Crouchback's desire to join the war effort leads him to take a commission in the Royal Corps of Halberdiers. However, his first campaign proves to be a disappointment, with little action and a notable mishap that affects his military record.
This debut novel by Evelyn Waugh marks the beginning of the Sword of Honour trilogy, which follows the fortunes of Guy Crouchback through two more volumes: Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender. Published in Penguin Modern Classics, Men at Arms offers a unique blend of satire and war fiction that explores the complexities of military life.
