＆lt;p class="MsoNormal"＆gt;Published in four parts between 1924 and 1928, this
extraordinary tetralogy centers on Christopher Tietjens, an officer and a
gentleman -- "the last English Tory"--and follows him from the
secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the
First World War. Against the backdrop of a world at war, Ford recounts the
complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife, Sylvia.＆lt;/p＆gt;
