Waugh's own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy's Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback's war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia, he discovers not heroism, but humanity. "Sword of Honour" combines three volumes: "Officers and Gentlemen", "Men at Arms" and "Unconditional Surrender", which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume "Sword of Honour" in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.
作者简介伊夫林·沃(1903—1966) 被公认为二十世纪英国最重要的小说家之一。出生于伦敦一个中产阶级家庭,父亲是英国一家出版公司的高级编辑,哥哥也是一位稍有名气的小说家。年轻时曾在牛津大学一所学院读历史，后自动辍学，过了几年漂泊流浪的生活，当过记者、小学教员，以小说《衰亡》(1928)一举成名。1928年与伊夫琳·加德纳结婚，次年离婚。1937年与比他年轻十二岁的劳拉·赫伯特结婚，生有四子二女，其长子和次女也是小说家。伊夫林·沃共出版小说十四部,最著名的是写于二战期间、追忆往昔大学生活的浪漫小说《旧地重游》，这部小说曾被拍成电影和电视连续剧。但批评家普遍认为其小说艺术成就最高的是描写英军在二战期间作战情况的《荣誉之剑》三部曲。此外他还出版游记八部,传记三部,自传一部,中短篇小说多篇,并写有大量政论和随笔。
