Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Monty: His Part in My Victory, written and read by Spike Milligan.

'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'); a cold ('in this weather?' 'Yed.'); moving camp ('it's a sort of Brighton with camels'); relaxing on the beach ('life was golden, and we were the assayers'); 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....

I a different light

Having grown up with Mr Milligan the comic, it’s enlightening to see him in a very fifteenth and revealing light.

Perfect. Funny, poignant, moving.

I am a huge Spike fan and had read the memoirs many times but hearing Spike narrate them added something extra. Read all 4 volumes in order and you can detect how the years at war started to have an impact on him and his buddies. love them and will listen to them many times more
