Chips is married toKatherine and blissfully happy. But when Katherine quarrels with Mrs Wickett, Chips finds himself caught between conflicting loyalties.

Shattered by Katherine's death in childbirth, Chips struggles to find the courage to face life alone. At first it seems as if not even his beloved Brookfield School can provide consolation.

Chips has emerged victorious in his quarrel with the new headmaster. But now he must face a far greater threat to his tranquil life at Brookfield: the menacing shadows of war.

The Great War, the war to end wars, is at its height. Not only have many of Chips's former pupils been killed, but also his best friend, the German master, Max Staefel.
