George Bernard Shaw's "Augustus Does His Bit" is a sharp, satirical drama dissecting British military bureaucracy during World War One. This one-act play uses wit and irony to expose the absurdities of wartime propaganda and the often-farcical realities behind the military machine.

As relevant today as when it was first written, Shaw's work provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political climate of Great Britain during a time of global conflict. This enduring piece of historical literature offers a potent commentary on power, patriotism, and the human condition amidst the chaos of war. Explore the play's enduring themes of conflict and societal expectation. This meticulously prepared edition brings Shaw's insightful observations to a new readership, preserving the integrity of the original text for both scholars and enthusiasts of classic drama and World War One history.
