{"product_id":"in-the-picture-9789042039001","title":"In the Picture","description":"Evelyn Waugh at war is an irresistibly fascinating subject, as are his war novels and diaries. Drawn to units offering the greatest danger, but often frustrated in his search for action, Waugh served in multiple regiments, saw battle on Crete and worked behind the lines in occupied Croatia. \u003ci\u003eIn the Picture\u003c\/i\u003e traces Waugh’s experiences, both vivid and mundane, with a completeness never before attempted and shows how they come alive in \u003ci\u003eSword of Honour\u003c\/i\u003e. It also illuminates the brief hints within the narrative of key events of the war, while highlighting its strategic direction. Waugh’s individualistic relationships with superiors, subordinates and public opinion led to blame and controversy. Working mainly from archival sources, \u003ci\u003eIn the Picture\u003c\/i\u003e examines Waugh’s fitness to be an officer, his conduct on Crete, his being sacked from the Special Service Brigade, and his service in Croatia. New, very surprising discoveries dispel entrenched myths.","brand":"Donat Gallagher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48435425280251,"sku":"9789042039001","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_077fae8b-f366-45ac-ba45-0b47b8bdc94e.jpg?v=1773792415","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/in-the-picture-9789042039001","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
