'Alms for Oblivion' is a series of ten novels, all telling separate stories but at the same time linked together by the characters they have in common: soldiers and dons, men of business, politicians and writers. Full of hearty rancour, they form a scathing chronicle of the upper echelons of postwar English society. This omnibus edition contains the first four volumes of the celebrated series: 'The Rich Pay Late', 'Friends in Low Places', 'The Sabre Squadron' and 'Fielding Gray'.
