Where Have All the Bullets Gone?Spike MilliganLabel: Penguin Books LtdDescription: VOLUME FIVE OF SPIKE MILLIGAN'S LEGENDARY MEMOIRS IS A HILARIOUS SUBVERSIVE FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF WW2'The Godfather of Alternative Comedy' Eddie Izzard______________ 'Back to those haunting days in Italy in 1944 at the foot of Mount Vesuvius with lava running in great red rivulets down the slope towards us and Jock taking a drag on his cigarette and saying I think we've got grounds for a rent rebate.' Where Have All the Bullets Gone? sees our hero dispatched from the front line to psychiatric hospital and from there to a rehabilitation camp. Considered loony (and 'unfit to be killed in combat by either side') he becomes embroiled in his own private battle with melancholy. But it is music wit and a little help from his friends - including one Gunner Harry Secombe - that help carry him through to his first stage appearances . . . ______________'Desperately funny vivid vulgar' Sunday Times 'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese 'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry
