The second volume of Waugh''s masterful trilogy, Sword of Honour

Guy Crouchback is now attached to a commando unit undergoing training on the Hebridean isle of Mugg, where the whisky flows freely and HM forces have to show respect for the laird. But the comedy of Mugg is followed by the bitterness of Crete.



Trade Review
A maverick historian * The Atlantic *
Waugh's unsparing bitterness is one of the things that makes his writing so good * Daily Mail *
To know as Waugh knows that there are no more great journeys and possibly no more great vows and still to trouble to write a novel at all exhibits precisely that fine hardness of mind most characteristic of him -- Joan Didion
