MILLIGAN, Spike - Adolf Hitler : My Part in His Downfall - (Hardcover in Wrapper )

Book and wrapper still good. >>> The first volume of Spike Milligan's war memoirs. The book spans the period from Britain's declaration of war on Germany to when Milligan lands in Algeria as a part of the Allied liberation of Africa.   The presentation is an unusual format freely mixing narrative anecdotes, contemporary photography, excerpts from diaries, letters, rough sketches and performance programs, along with comic sketches and absurd fake memoranda from ranking Nazi officials; the hard facts are usually apparent. Milligan says in the preface: "All the salient facts are true"; at the end of the preface: "There were the deaths of some of my friends, and therefore, no matter how funny I tried to make this book, that will always be at the back of my mind: but, were they alive today, they would have been the first to join in the laughter, and that laughter was, I'm sure, the key to victory."^[2]   The book was made into a film with the same title and adapted into a stage play.

*N.B.*  Dis natuurlik beter om meer as een boek by my te koop want dan betaal jy net R 6 posgeld vir elk van jou verdere boeke – Kyk wat het ek nog, dis dalk die moeite werd.
