Men at Arms - by Evelyn Waugh (Paperback)

Men at Arms is a hilarious and entertaining novel that follows the tumultuous wartime adventures of Guy Crouchback, a determined soldier who takes a commission in the Royal Corps of Halberdiers.

Despite his high spirits, Crouchback sees little action and ends up getting into an escapade that blots his Halberdier copybook.

This is the first novel in Waugh's brilliant Sword of Honor trilogy, which also comprises Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender.

With Waugh's sharp wit and satire at work, Men at Arms is a must-read for anyone looking for a lighthearted and entertaining take on the Second World War.
