Rommel?` `Gunner Who?`: A Confrontation in the Desert
by Spike Milligan
This is the second volume of Mr Milligan`s reminiscences of World War II.
The second volume in Milligan`s war memoirs concentrates on his time in North Africa. This volume is more poignant than the first but that was inevitable, really, as his friends started to be killed.
One passage has him describing some typically zany Goon-type humour with one of his mates in his outfit and then he slams it shut with the sentence `He had eight days left of his young life left to live.` You can`t help thinking `well, fuck`.
Speaking of bad language, Milligan really ramps up the casual use of racist, sexist and homophobic language in this one. While this is undeniably period-accurate, and I wouldn`t criticise him for using it for the sake of authenticity, I`d be lying if I said it didn`t bother me a little. I guess you can take the guy out of the 21st century but you can`t take the 21st century out of the guy.
The laughs are just as abundant, though, and I was still laughing uproariously throughout. At two days per book, I`m going to be done with this series in no time
