Not honour more

"Third part of a trilogy on the life of an English politician."@en
"[This novel is the third in a trilogy. Set in England during the General Stirke of 1926, this story revolves around three characters Nina, Chester Nimmo, and Jim Latter, an army officer. This volume is narrated by Jim.] He is a spoiled, domineering man who refuses to marry Nina after getting her pregnant because he thinks it will ruin his chances for advancement in his army regiment; when Chester steps in and asks her to marry him, she accepts - to Jim's bitter regret. Much of his story is filled with anger toward Chester, who is a politician; he comes to view Chester as a political monster set on destroying the world, but that only disguises his real anger at Chester, which has everything to do with his relationship with Nina. Jim even tries to shoot Chester at one point... It's [the General Strike] that gives Jim the excuse to rationalize much of his behavior, especially his eventual murder of Nina, which he claims he did to "save England." Jim is totally delusional by this time, wallowing in the juices of his own anger and frustrations. But Cary is careful not to make Jim a monster, and the reader is able to feel sympathy for his behavior. --Bomojaz at Amazon.com."
