{"product_id":"sword-of-honour","title":"Sword of Honour","description":"Evelyn Waugh''s masterful depiction of World War II, now in a beautiful hardback edition with a new Introduction by Martin Stannard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaugh''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 war years 1939-45. 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. Sword of Honour combines three volumes: Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional Surrender, which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Marvellous ... one of the masterpieces of the century''\u003cbr\u003eJohn Banville, Irish Times","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456136806747,"sku":"9780241585320","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/sword-of-honour","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
