Guy Crouchback's encounters with the absurd reality of life in the British Army, which is strewn with bureaucratic blunders, military debacles and indelibly funny characters, prove to be more of a challenge than facing the actual enemy.
In strong contrast to the bleakly farcical nature of Guy's military experience, his renewed and passionate acquaintance with his dangerously beautiful ex-wife provokes a personal and moral crisis that tests both his undying love for Virginia and his profound sense of duty.
