"Officers and Gentlemen" is the second part of "The Blade of Honour", the classic trilogy by Evelyn Waugh. The Second World War continues, and with it the military adventures of Guy Crouchback. After leaving the ranks of the Halberd Corps, he becomes part of the commandos. What began as a life of "happy warrior" would end with the defeat of the British Army in the Battle of Crete and the fateful message of 22 June 1941. What will this mean for Guy and how will his view of war and his fellow soldiers change?
