of Guys age, was the peculiarly
determined, industrious, literal
minded, humorless sort that
seems to get along in the Army.
They were taken as probation
airy officers in famous regi-
ment which Mr.. Waugh calls
the Halberdiers, an outfit with
history and legends enough to
be allowed to train its own Of
ficers.
A Fabulous Brieodier
The regiment, incidentally,
has become a ceremonial and
historic term in Britain. The
battalion is the modern unit,
and the Halberdiers were per-
mitted to recruit enough bat
talions for a brigade. Their
brigadier. a fabulous figure, had
been an enfant terrible in the
first war. collecting wounds,
decorations and reprimands for
his heroic but unmilitary and
individualistic conduct.
Brigadier Ritchie-Hook was,
as the new Halberdiers found
out, a strange mixture of an
inspiring military leader and a
prankish small boy. He could
teach the tactics of attack as
no one could and yet he wasn't
beyond a practical joke of the
most primitive sort.
Guy was the last male de-
scendant of an old English
family that had waned in num-
bers and fortune. His mar
riage had broken up; he had
no children. He hadn't made
much of his life. He was at a
loose end, living in house in
Italy, one of the few family pos
sessions left, when the war
called him back to England.
This is the story of his first year
in the army, ending with Dun
kirk and the brigade's dispatch

ounce of juicy detail from cases

his method of pulling back the

Men at Arms

It might be supposed that in
composing a novel of military
life a writer with such a natural
flair for satire could not refrain
from giving the army the
works. But Evelyn Waugh, de-
scribing the experiences of a
civilian in training as an Off
Ger, has withstood the tempta-
ton to make the British army
and it could be our Army or any
other. for all armies are more
or less alike-any more stuffy
and humorless than it was and
is.
Not that "N1en at Arms"
lacks the Waugh touch. There
are some delicious character
izations and situations typical
of the military mind. But these
are subdued. Mr.. Waugh has
shown artistic restraint and
even sympathy for the enor-
nous difficulties which de-
mocracy like England land
America) faces in building up a
fresh army for each unexpected
new war. His book is more a
straight story than a satire. The
story is appealing, with the
ridiculous often close to pathos,
which is the way of reality.
"A Long Love Affoir'
It is interesting to learn from
the publishers that this is the
first novel in a trilogy which Mr..
Waugh hopes to write about "a
long love affair, full of vicissi-
tudes, between a civilian and
the Army" With this in mind.
it is understandable why the
author breaks off the story
rather abruptly, leaving his hero
"a fellow not too heroic to
blunder into plenty of trouble
in what you might call a fix.
Mr.. Waugh knows what he's
writing about. He usually does.
He served in the war, not in one
of those propaganda or infor-
nation assignments created for
established writer's, but as a
junior officer in a line regiment.
He volunteered for commando
duty and saw some extra-haz-
ardous combat service. His
protagonist. Guy Crouchback,
is obviously, however, not much
like Mr.. Waugh except that
Guy, too, is a Catholic and was
in his middle 30s. older than
most of the officer candidates,
when the war broke out.
While this is primarily Guys
story. another character, who
attached himself to Guy and
often got in his hair, but from
whom Guy never was able to
escape, looms of special impor-
lance in the narrative. This is

and nightmarish sleep, he found
himself in a strange place. Be
low his bed a beam of light
showed some small figures,
which he took for midgets,
busting about. Then one of
them,- a doctor. told him they
were people Of normal size.
Alan, the doctor said, was the
victim of rare disease, form
Of gigantism; he had grown to
Is feet, with weight proportion
ate. They'd had to enlarge the
room, build him a special bed
and rig up pulleys and other de-
vices to care for him. He was
told that be was in a sana-
forum and his. wife knew his
condition. but. on the doctors
advice, had not come to see
him. Two women, nurses, and
a second doctor were helping
look after him.
After his initial shock passed,
Alan faced several questions.
Did he want his wife and baby
and maybe members of the
faculty to see him in such gro
tesque shape? He decided he
couldn't face that, at least for
the present. Meanwhile he got
better acquainted with the head
physician. DR.. Sertorus, and dis
liked him increasingly, for some
reason he could not at first
fathom.
What happened to this Brob-
dingnagian figure you'll have
to find out. Naturally there is
a sly symbolism in his adven-
ture. just as there was in Swift's
original, and you can guess at
the meaning more clearly as the
unexpected climax is reached.
Meanwhile Mr.. Samuel tells a.
taut story that may keep you
away from your TV set the
