First published in 1928, „Last Post" is part four of Ford Madox Ford's hugely successful „Parade's End" tetralogy. It is about Christopher Tietjens and his life, with World War I as the backdrop. This book is set during a few hours of a day in June, where Tietjens is making a living as a dealer of old furniture. The series has taken the reader from before the war, to during it, and this final novel explores the legacy of it.
