David Lebedoff reveals the similarities of two seemingly different writers in "The Same Man: George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh in Love and War." Both men were born in 1903 into a similar class but Waugh coveted high society and celebrity while Orwell lived a penniless existence. Lebedoff's dual biography covers their early lives, education, loves, writing and experiences in World War II. The account of Waugh with Randolph Churchill during the war is priceless. However unalike they were, Lebedoff maintains that both deplored modernity. Discover more about these two brilliant men.
