Milligan’s war is the one-volume selected edition of Spike Milligan’s war memoirs, published to celebrate the seventieth birthday of Britain’s funniest old soldier on 16 April 1988. Adolf Hitler, Monty, Mussolini, Rommel (who?) - all played their modest parts in the second world war and the shaping of human destiny, but we all know where the real action was… Milligan’s war documents in words and pictures. The most scurrilous, bizarre and certainly the most hilarious military career embarked upon by any bombardier of the 56th heavy regiment, royal artillery, ever.
