Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Arms And The Man is a three-act play written by Bernard Shaw in 1920. An anti-romantic comedy, this play endeavours to attack the romantic notion of war by portraying a much more realistic illustration of its plights. A clever, witty, and subtle gem of theatre from the author of Pygmalion that continues to hold up more than 100 years after its writing, this is a play that will appeal to those with an interest in portrayals of war, and one that makes for a worthy addition to any personal collection. George Bernard Shaw (1856 -1950) was an Irish playwright who co-founded the London School of Economics. We are republishing this vintage book now complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
