"O'Flaherty, VS: A Pamphlet for Mobilization" is a comedy play by Bernard Shaw, where he depicts the contradiction between Irish patriotism and military heroism. The main character, O'Flaherty, decided to fight for Great Britain, but his motives for fighting are not at all the same as those of other soldiers. He is not fascinated by the idea of fame and military service, but is trying to win a victory in an absurd struggle to get out of the army. A whimsical plot, deep sarcasm and sharp humor make this play interesting for readers who appreciate non-standard approaches to military and patriotic themes."
