Consisting of the novels Men at Arms, Officers and Gentleman, and Unconditional Surrender, this trilogy about World War II is largely based on Evelyn Waugh's own experiences as an army officer, and is the crowning achievement of his career. 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 too much for him.
