What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition

This is the first novel of Waugh's Sword of Honour series, which is based on Waugh's experiences in the Second World War. Men at Arms follows the life of Guy Crouchback, the heir of an aristocratic Roman Catholic family, who joins the army. For this novel, Waugh was awarded the 1952 James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
From the library of the son of Joyce Gill, a life-long friend of Evelyn Waugh. Joyce and Evelyn had a passionate affair during the annulment of Evelyn’s first marriage to ‘She-Evelyn’. The pair were introduced sometime around Christmas in 1923 at a nightclub in Fitzrovia, their affair seeming to come to a head in the summer of 1935, when Evelyn invited Joyce to leave her husband and join him on his travels to Abyssinia.
