Monty: His Part in My Victory, Spike Milligan's third volume of war memoirs. Co-written with Jack Hobbs, it runs to only about 90 pages of text and recounts a period in which the Nazis have been defeated in Africa and Milligan is not fighting. The book mostly describes Milligan's activities on leave and plays in a band and minor adventures and tribulations while on duty. Events span from May to September 1943: just after Operation Torch, the liberation of Africa in World War II, to Milligan's embarkation for Salerno, Italy.
There is a mix of photos, sketches, letters and mischievous ersatz Nazi communiques that are similar to those in the earlier volumes in the series.
An audio version, recorded by Milligan, was released on 30 October 1997.
