Description
The Adventures of Private Faust is a classic book which makes me laugh every time I pick it up. Hans Hellmut Kirst is a German WWII veteran, giving the book a perspective not normally availible today. The setting for this book is a North African British POW camp, holding German prisoners after the end of the war. But that doesn't mean the book is a dry read; far from it. Every page brings another laugh, from the ingenious escape attempts of (German) Private Faust, to Command Sergeant Major's (German) Scottish pipe band. If you liked Catch-22, you'll love this book.
