VOLUME THREE OF SPIKE MILLIGAN'S LEGENDARY MEMOIRS IS A HILARIOUS, SUBVERSIVE FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF WW2


'The most irreverent, hilarious book about the war that I have ever read' Sunday Express


'Brilliant verbal pyrotechnics, throwaway lines and marvelous anecdotes' Daily Mail

______________


'It's all over, Von Arnheim has surrendered and he's very angry.' 'This could mean war . . .'


The third volume of Spike Milligan's laugh-a-line account of life as a gunner in World War Two resumes on the eve of victory in North Africa. Now Britain's looniest war hero must combat some of the direst threats a soldier has ever faced - boredom ('Christ, I just thought of Catford'), moving camp ('It's a sort of Brighton with camels'), moving camp again ('We're already somewhere else'), a visit to Carthage ('It's terrible, it's like Catford') and a perilous encounter with the gloriously endowed Mademoiselle Villion ('"Help! massage," I said weakly').


Against the odds, they survive and are sent at last to Italy to be killed...

**'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry

'Manifestly a genius, a comic surrealist genius and had no equal' Terry Wogan


'A totally original comedy writer' Michael Palin


'Close in stature to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear in his command of the profound art of nonsense' Guardian**
