OorlogsherinneringenReeks

Deze reeks humoristische memoires vangt de absurde en vaak surrealistische ervaringen tijdens oorlogstijd. De auteur onthult met ongelooflijke lichtheid en humor de bizarre realiteiten van het militaire leven en de zinloosheid van de oorlogswoede. Lezers kunnen onvergetelijke observaties verwachten die de tragedie van oorlog met komedie in evenwicht brengen. Het biedt een uniek perspectief op oorlog gebeurtenissen door de ogen van een komiek.

    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.

    Offer an account of author's part in World War Two that sees our hero doing very little soldiering. Because it's 1946. Rather, he is now part of the Bill Hall Trio - a 'Combined Services Entertainment' inflicted on unsuspecting soldiers across Italy and Austria - and is largely preoccupied with the unbearably beautiful ballerina, Ms Toni Fontana.

They decide to call themselves The Goons...
