Synopsis
This trilogy of novels--MEN AT ARMS, OFFICERS AND GENTLEMEN, and THE END OF THE BATTLE--was published between 1952 and 1961. It portrays the events of the Second World War as seen through the melancholy eyes of Guy Crouchback, a middle-aged civilian who joins the Halberdiers, a venerable British army regiment, at the start of the fighting. Taken together, these three novels, while not as popular as some of his other books, are generally agreed to be his best works.

Industry Reviews
"The SWORD OF HONOR trilogy, published between 1952 and 1961, is a masterpiece of ruefulness; who but Waugh could have woven the surrender of spiritual hope into the winning of a global fight?"
New Yorker - Anthony Lane (10/04/1999)
"Waugh's was a perverse vision, and to anyone of liberal tendencies--indeed, to any democratically minded person--distinctly off-putting, but his genius lay in making this vision beguiling....When I want to hear Britain of the 1940s, I go to these novels--the finest work of fiction in English to emerge from World War II."
Atlantic Monthly - Penelope Lively (02/01/2001)
