The Complete McAuslan by George MacDonald Fraser
Requirements: ePUB reader, 610 kB
Overview: George MacDonald Fraser is best known for the Flashman series. Another of his glorious military creations is the great McAuslan, in a semi-autobiographical series of short stories based on the author’s experiences in the Gordon Highlanders, in North Africa and Scotland, soon after World War II. These hilarious stories of the most disastrous soldier in the British Army are collected together for the first time in one volume.
Private McAuslan, J., the Dirtiest Soldier in the Word (alias the Tartan Caliban, or the Highland Division’s answer to the Pekin Man) first demonstrated his unfitness for service in The General Danced at Dawn. He continued his disorderly advance, losing, soiling or destroying his equipment, through the pages of McAuslan in the Rough. The final volume, The Sheikh and the Dustbin, pursues the career of the great incompetent as he shambles across North African and Scotland, swinging his right arm in time with his right leg and tripping over his untied laces. His admirers know him as court-martial defendant, ghost-catcher, star-crossed lover and golf caddie extraordinary. Whether map-reading his erratic way through the Sahara by night or confronting Arab rioters, McAuslan’s talent for catastrophe is guaranteed.
