Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Peace work, written and read by Spike Milligan.

The seventh and last volume of Spike Milligan's memoirs sees our hero returning from war and Italy ... but to what? Aside from shooting large, inaccurate guns at Germans, all he has done for five long years is blow a trumpet, tell rude jokes and write and perform sketches for the entertainment of bored and murderous soldiers - who on earth is going to pay a civilian to do more of that?

Recensioni della critica

The most irreverent, hilarious book about the war that I have ever read
Brilliant verbal pyrotechnics ... throwaway lines and marvelous anecdotes
Desperately funny, vivid, vulgar
Close in stature to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear in his command of the profound art of nonsense
Milligan is the Great God to all of us (John Cleese)
The Godfather of Alternative Comedy (Eddie Izzard)
That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man (Stephen Fry)
Manifestly a genius, a comic surrealist genius and had no equal (Terry Wogan)
A totally original comedy writer (Michael Palin)
