"An eminently readable comedy of modern war" from the acclaimed English satirist follows the travails of a British aristocrat-turned-soldier during WWII (New York Times).

Guy Crouchback, determined to get into the war, takes a commission in the Royal Corps of Halberdiers. His spirits high, he sees all the trimmings but none of the action. And his first campaign, an abortive affair on the West African coastline, ends with an escapade that seriously blots his Halberdier copybook.

Men at Arms is the first novel in Evelyn Waugh's brilliant Sword of Honor trilogy.

"The finest work of fiction in English to emerge from World War II" -- Atlantic Monthly

"To Waugh -- and to the reader, after Waugh has waved his magic wand of characterization -- mediocrity seems not only a human condition but a fascinating one." -- TIME
