Publication: Barrie & Jenkins, (1974), London
First edition. Fine in price-clipped dust jacket. Private McAuslan, thoughtfully described by his platoon commander as 'the biggest walking disaster to hit the British Army since Ancient Pistol', continues his disorderly advance, losing, soiling or destroying his equipment. Whether map-reading his erratic way through the Sahara by night or confronting Arab rioters, McAuslan's talent for catastrophe is constant.
