| book description |

Private McAuslan was â€˜the biggest walking disaster to hit the Armyâ€™. Loosely based on his own experiences in a Scottish regiment, and written with rare humour, a sense of the ludicrous and real affection for soldiering, the second volume of George MacDonald Fraserâ€™s McAuslan trilogy now finally comes to life on audio. Private McAuslan, J. â€“ the Dirtiest Soldier in the World (alias the Tartan Caliban) â€“ will be joyfully familiar to readers of THE GENERAL DANCED AT DAWN, the first volume of George MacDonald Fraserâ€™s stories of life in a Scottish regiment. Unwashed, unbuttoned, and dropping pieces of soiled equipment as he came, civilian readers may regard him with shocked disbelief. But generations of ex-servicemen have already hailed him with delight as an familiar friend â€“ because every old soldier can remember a McAuslan! McAUSLAN IN THE ROUGH, the second volume of stories featuring â€˜Old Private Piltdownâ€™ (as the court-martial defence called him), includes such episodes as the desert mystery of Fort Yarhuna, the Great Regimental Quiz, the search for a deserter in a native town threatened by epidemic, McAuslan in love, and his finest and funniest hour â€“ as a caddy to that rugged Caledonian eminence, the Regimental Sergeant-Major, in a golf game whose importance makes the Open Championship look like a seaside putting competition. Based on MacDonald Fraserâ€™s own experiences in the Border Regiment and the Gordon Highlanders, these affectionate tales of British Army life demonstrate the celebrated author of the swashbuckling FLASHMAN series at his hilarious best.
