Men at Arms by Evelyn Waugh
$12.99
Secondhand paperback good condition. Published by Penguin Books, 1975. Men at Arms is the first volume of Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy, following Guy Crouchback, a divorced Catholic gentleman who enlists in the Royal Corps of Halberdiers at the outset of World War II. Eager to serve, Guy navigates the absurdities of military training, eccentric comrades like the ritual-obsessed Apthorpe, and the frustrations of bureaucratic incompetence and inaction. The novel satirizes the early war effort through Guy's experiences, blending humor with themes of honor, religion, and disillusionment.
