A Man Could Stand Up
by Ford Madox Ford
The End of the Parade, the third volume of Ford Madox Ford's venerable tetralogy, follows the life of Christopher Thietgens, the "last Tory," a brilliant government statistician from a wealthy family of landlords who served in the British Army during the First World War. The novel begins on Truce Day and follows Thietgens and Valentine's fortunes until their paths cross again in post-war London.
