[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Penguin Books], https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Waugh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_Surrender_%28novel%29 Guy prevails By Tony C on Oct. 3 2015 Despite bleak disillusionment, Guy Crouchback comes through. Waugh ends Sword of Honour on a hopeful note, but not after some gloriously sentimental episodes. The funeral of Guy's father moved me to tears, so much of it reminded me of my own father. Waugh not so subtly skewers various WW2 leaders and the lemming-like willingness of the masses to accept bogus symbols as propaganda, principally the 'Sword of Honour' itself. Guy has prevailed but recognizes his surrender to the new age. Unconditional Surrender July 8 2012 By S Riaz This final volume in the Swords of Honour trilogy, sees Guy Crouchback back in England. After two years training the new brigade of Halberdiers, he suffers the blow of being too old to be taken into battle. Again, Guy's war turns into a waiting game, involving chance and mis-chance as he is chosen by the new Electronic Personnel Selector for special employment, only to have old security issues and a chance encounter with Ludovic, now a Major in the intelligence corps with literary aspirations, divert his steps from the intended journey. The three books in this trilogy are not meant to be read alone. The characters and stories within the various novels interweave and interlink, so this book will make little sense without reading the previous two. A lot of the characters here we have met before - including Guy's ex-wife Virginia, who thinks she has escaped Trimmer and then discovers life is no longer as easy as it once was. By this novel, many of the characters are tired, dispirited and expected glory has been replaced by realistic expectations and political disquiet about the end of the war. Through all these novels, Guy maintains his central core of belief and goodness. He had hoped to change the war, but he does manage to change a life. This really is a stunning trilogy and I cannot recommend it highly enough., DE, [SC: 2.40], leichte Gebrauchsspuren, privates Angebot, 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm, 240, [GW: 150g], [PU: Harmondsworth], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Englischsprachige Bücher / Romane (englisch)]<
