    Guy Crouchback, determined to get into the war, takes a commission in the Royal Corps of Halberdiers. His spirits high, he sees all the trimmings but none of the action. And his first campaign, an abortive affair on the West African coastline, ends with an escapade which seriously blots his Halberdier copybook. Men at Arms is the first book in Waugh’s brilliant Sword of Honour trilogy, which chronicles the fortunes of Guy Crouchback.

    The army isn't fair, it isn't even sane.

    Guy is such an easy character to follow. Although he does not go out of his way to upset anybody, disaster and folly head him off at every turn, and h..Show More »

    In Men at Arms, the first book in the ‘Sword of Honour’ trilogy, we were introduced to Guy Crouchback. Catholic, 35-years-old and divorced, he saw the outbreak of World War II as the opportunity for glory and dedication. In Officers and Gentlemen we meet Guy again. He’s now attached to a commando unit undergoing training on the Hebridean Isle of Mugg where the whisky flows freely and H. M. Forces have to show the proper respect for the Laird.

    Could be my own biography

    Anyone who has had to go through the military would probably experience Guy's experiences even as Guy doesn't even know it is happening to him. He doe..Show More »

    Guy Crouchback has lost his idealism. A desk job in London gives him the chance of reconciliation with his former wife.

    Wonderful narrator

    The narrator, new to me, is masterful. The book, which I didn't know, is good, bolstered by Waugh's brilliant prose. It is, though, the third book o..Show More »
