Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall

from Luftwaffe_Flak

Abolutely hilarious and well written memoirs of Spike Milligan's time in the service (Part 1 at least). I love it, cannot wait to read more, he certainly has a talent for painting a vivid and often funny picture with his words.

from scuzzy

probably the best and funniest of the war memoirs...picturing spike in his oversized unifrm, showing complete disregard for authority, and cracking jokes is just like watching classic Q episodes. RIP Spike - you were (and still are) the best.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this is one of the three or four funniest things I've ever read. You might come to it because you know something about Milligan's founding role in postwar British comedy, but this book has something to it that goes beyond Goon Show/Monty Python absurdism. Underneat...

Brilliantly funny and incisive. Although this is first rate comedy, there is a poignancy about it, as there should be with any reflections on war. Perhaps comedy is the best medium for writing about the horror of war?
