Requirements: ePub Reader, Mobi Reader 13.7MB, 12 MB
Overview: When Spike Milligan died in 2002, he left behind one of the most diverse legacies in British entertainment history — as well as a legion of devoted fans and admirers. His themes ranged from environmental issues to the war, from nostalgia to depression, and his prolific output covers some of the most evocative events of the twentieth century, in a style both twistedly comic and harrowingly honest.
Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall (1971)
‘At Victoria station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked ‘This is your enemy’. I searched every compartment, but he wasn’t on the train’. Spike Milligan’s on the march, blitzing friend and foe alike with his uproarious recollections of army life from enlistment to the landing at Algiers in 1943. Bathos, pathos and gales of drunken laughter, and insane military goonery explode in superlative Milliganese
Rommel? Gunner Who? (1974)
This is the second volume of Mr Milligan’s reminiscences of World War II.
Monty: His Part in My Victory (1976)
Britain’s looniest war hero completes the third volume of the Milligan memoirs. The nineteenth battery forge into Tunis, cocksure and carefree. They climb on aqueduct with no trousers on (the battery that is; the aqueduct was very well-dressed). Five hundred gunners try to dance with two girls and an old French matron…up there in Valhalla, Monty’s laughing fit to burst.
Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall (1978)
Britannia rules the waves TA-RA, but on occasions she waives the rules and Spike is all set to liberate-gasp-Italy. In this fourth volume of war memoirs, Lance-Bombardier Milligan (Spike actually) continues his notorious sage of World War II – from the long remembered outbreak of crabs in monkey to the unfortunate ack-acking of and American killyhawk. Dio mio, is war is a game of cards, someone was cheating.
Where Have All the Bullets Gone? (1985)
Despatched from the front line to psychiatric hospital, and from there to a rehabilitation camp – for bomb happy soldiers – in Afragola, Spike enters a period of khaki limbo away from active service which offers the chance to regroup forces in his own private war against melancholy. As ever, music, zany humour and a little help from his friends – including one, Harry Secombe, a liggle myopic blubber of fat from Wales whom he encounters in Italy – carry him through to his first stage of appearances and on, as history knows and volume 6 will tell, to fortune, overdraft, VAT, Income Tax, mortgages, accountants, solicitors, house agents and so on.Littered with uncensored excerpts from his letters, diaries and documents of the time, Where Have All the Bullets Gone? keeps up the Milligan offensive against the brass hats and their flood of official memoirs with its Tommys eye view of the war. A latterday Good Soldier Schweik, his own brand of goonish and macabre humour amuse and at the same time express the awful bloodiness of war, the unthinking courage of those who fought in it and the flavour of the almost hysterical humour that helped carry Spike and many others through their worst moments.
Goodbye Soldier (1986
In "Goodbye Soldier" the central pool of artists, now rechristened the combined services entertainment, complete with Gunner Milligan, now rechristened Lance-Bombardier, makes its way across Europe, via romantic Rome and verneral Venice, to Vienna where Spike continues to demoralize the troops from the stage despite frenzied protests from Eisenhower, Churchill and Stalin. Hastily discharged from the army in Austria, he returns to naughty Naples for an interval of connubial bliss on Capri with Ballerina. Maria Antoinette Fontana: ‘All except for Eva Maria who I was keeping in reserve’. Finally, farewell to Rome, goodbye soldier and the prospect of return to dreary Deptford where ‘fortune, overdraft, income tax, mortgages, accounts, solicitors, house agents’ awaited.
