Waugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the Second World War. High comedy in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia he discovers not heroism, but humanity.
