Sword of Honor

The deepest pleasures these novels afford come from observing a great satiric writer employ his gifts with extraordinary subtlety, and human feeling, delicacy, for purposes that are ultimately anything but satiric. Sword of honor comprises the three acclaimed novels Men at Arms, Officers and Gentlemen, and Unconditional Surrender.
. Though often somber, sword of Honor is also a brilliant comedy, peopled by the fantastic figures so familiar from Waugh's early satires.

Evelyn Waugh: A Life Revisited

One of eade’s aims is ‘to re-examine some of the distortions and misconceptions that have come to surround this famously complex and much mythologized character’. This might look like code for a plan to whitewash the overly blackwashed Waugh, ’ comments veteran Waugh scholar Professor Donat Gallagher; ‘but readers fixated on atrocities will not be disappointed.
. Named a best book of the year by the guardian, here is a completely fresh view of one of the most gifted -- and fascinating -- writers of our time, SUNDAY TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMESFifty years after Evelyn Waugh’s death, the enigmatic author of Brideshead Revisited. Now philip eade has delivered an authoritative and hugely entertaining biography that is full of new material, much of it sensational.
Eade builds upon the existing waugh lore with access to a remarkable array of unpublished sources provided by Waugh’s grandson, including passionate love letters to Baby Jungman – the Holy Grail of Waugh research - a revealing memoir by Waugh’s first wife Evelyn Gardner “Shevelyn”, and an equally significant autobiography by Waugh’s commanding officer in World War II.
I have been researching and writing about Waugh since 1963 and Eade time and again surprised and delighted me.
