About this listen

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 which seriously blots his Halberdier copybook.

Men at Arms is the first book in Waugh’s brilliant trilogy, Sword of Honour, which chronicles the fortunes of Guy Crouchback.

Typical Waugh, whose deft hand and wonderful characterisation draw one into the web he spins to show, in a quiet, seemingly ordinary way the profound horrors and tragedies of the war

Really loved the narrator, perfect pitch and tenor. Very funny at times, and will miss Abthorpe.

Waugh is clearly overrated if this is anything to go by. A lightweight tale of trivia
