Its central character is Guy Crouchback, head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family, who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism, but then gradually finds the complexities and cruelties of war overwhelming. Though often somber, Sword of Honor is also a brilliant comedy, peopled by the fantastic figures so familiar from Waugh's early satires. The deepest pleasures these novels afford come from observing a great satiric writer employ his gifts with extraordinary subtlety, delicacy, and human feeling, for purposes that are ultimately anything but satiric. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSword of Honor\u003c\/i\u003e comprises the three acclaimed novels \u003ci\u003eMen at Arms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOfficers and Gentlemen\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUnconditional Surrender\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101651931359,"sku":"9780316216685","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/WlB5Y29Kcko5aGtyZWNWQldHN0pLZz09.webp?v=1781071903"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/evelyn-waugh.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
