In “PUT OUT MORE FLAGS,” Evelyn Waugh returns to the world of “DECLINE AND FALL” and “VILE BODIES,” exploring how his characters navigate the upheaval of World War II. As society shifts, some rise to the occasion with bravery, while others, like the ever-self-serving Basil Sea, find new ways to exploit the situation. Basil’s escapades in the Ministry of Information and Military Security provide Waugh with ample material for another sharp satire on the elite circles of Mayfair.
