Officers and Gentlemen

by Evelyn Waugh
The second part of the Sword of Honour trilogy.
Continuing the story of Guy Crouchback, an outsider in many ways but part of the English elite. In this volume we have the story of preparations for war on the isle of Mugg, which is very amusing and the comedy of errors that leads to the elevation of trimmer.
The second part is based around Crete and is much more sombre and sobering but continues to show up the senselessness of war. 7/10
