The final novel of the Trilogy is Unconditional Surrender and, initially, we move away from the war and more to Guy’s personal life. After his military failures, he is kept away from the real action. His father dies and leaves him a fair amount of money. His ex-wife becomes pregnant by Trimmer, whom she dislikes, and starts to court Crouchback.

It also traces ideological battle lines that remained visible well into the atomic age as the enemy shifted from Tokyo to Moscow.
These objects--a cigarette lighter, lollipop sticks, a beer-bottle opener, etc.--like the fictional pieces of the novel itself, are seemingly random at first, but eventually coalesce, meaningfully and poetically. Written in a variety of literary forms, The Museum of Unconditional Surrender captures the shattered world of a life in exile.
