Synopsis
Men at arms: the first book in the Sword of Honour trilogy, we were introduced to Guy Crouchback. Catholic, 35-years-old, and divorced, he saw the outbreak of World War II as the opportunity for glory and dedication. In Officers and Gentlemen we meet Guy again. He's now attached to a commando unit undergoing training on the Hebridean Isle of Mugg, where the whisky flows freely and H.M. Forces have to show the proper respect for the Laird. But the high comedy of Mugg is followed by the bitterness of Crete - and all the chaos and indignity of a total withdrawal or surrender.
