Quartered Safe Out Here

GMF's Quartered Safe Out here is a masterpiece of memoir.

In college I read through the entirety of George Macdonald Fraser's historical pseudo-fiction series of novels called The Flashman Papers. I will, no doubt, sing its virtues in due time.

Here, however, I'd like to command anyone and every who hasn't already to go read Fraser's similarly brilliant Quartered Safe Out Here, his memoirs from his time as a soldier in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He was an excellent novelist with a fantastic sense of comedy and an ear for accents--of which there are many in the UK, it seems--and I can say with some certainty that Quartered Safe Out Here is among the most compelling, most moving, and most gloriously politically incorrect things I have ever read.

If you don't like books, listen to it on Audible. David Case (narrator of the Flashman series) does an excellent job with its reading.
