Product Description

Product Description
The second volume of Mr Milligan's reminiscences of World War II.

About the Author
Spike Milligan was born at Ahmednagar in India in 1918. He received his first education in a tent in the Hyderabad Sindh desert and graduated from there, through a series of Roman Catholic schools in India and England, to the Lewisham Polytechnic. He then plunged into the world of Show Business, seduced by his first stage appearance, at the age of eight, in the nativity play of his Poona convent school. He began his career as a band musician, but has since become famous as a humorous scriptwriter and actor in both films and broadcasting. Spike received an honorary CBE in 1992.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful war memoir..., 13 Mar 2003
By Lee Easton "idle_fingers" (Harrison, Ar United States) - See all my reviews
A very quick and surprisingly engrossing book. ROMMEL is just as good if not better than its predecessor, Adolf hitler: My Part in His downfall. Milligan does a fantastic job of juggling the humor and the tragedy without overwhelming the reader with the events of the times. His sad nostalgia isn't as pronounced as it is in DOWNFALL, but it is there, as he does take time out from reminiscing to hammer out a paragraph about how he longs for the old days. His writing makes those who never experienced it long for it as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Milligan defeats Rommel., 30 May 2000
By arh11@cornell.edu (Ithaca, New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rommel?: Gunner Who? (Paperback)
This is not only a masterful war memoir but also terrifically funny as are the others in this series. My only criticism is that none of Mr Milligan's books are published in the US, which says a great deal about the depth of American culture.

By A Customer
This is the funniest book I have ever read. A totally belivable account of World War 2 seen through the eyes of Spike Milligan. Ever since I read this I have been trying to get the other three books, and I imagine you will too.
