Put Out More Flags

by Evelyn Waugh

Set during the first year of Britain’s involvement in World War Two, this satirical novel takes as its theme the so called Phoney War, when the British Army were almost wholly restricted to tactical manoeuvres and building up the strengths of the regiments. It features several characters than recur in Waugh’s earliest novels.
