Summary
Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown's schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents - horsemanship, facility with foreign languages, and fornication.
A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.
What was Harry Flashman doing on the slopes of Little Bighorn, caught between the gallant remnant of Custer's 7th Cavalry and the attack of Sitting Bull's braves? He was trying to get out of the line of fire and escape yet again with his life (if not his honour) intact.
Here is the legendary and authentic West of Mangas Colorado's Apaches, of Kit Carson, Custer and Spotted Tail, of Crazy Horse and the Deadwood stage, gunfighters and gamblers, scoundrels and Indian belles, enthusiastic widows and mysterious adventuresses. The West as it really was terrifying!
Critic reviews
"Not so much a march as a full-blooded charge, fortified by the usual lashings of salty sex, meticulously choreographed battle scenes and hilariously spineless acts of self preservation by Flashman." ( Sunday Times‘)
"Not only are the Flashman books extremely funny, but they give meticulous care to authenticity. You can, between the guffaws, learn from them." ( Washington Post)
"A first-rate historical novelist" (Kingsley Amis)

25 years of American adventures...
The Wild West is just a touch wilder for the presence of Harry Flashman.... just how many scrapes can one man get into and how many famous people can he encounter? Listen, enjoy and wonder at the historical accuracy, amazing storyline and superb narration as Harry manages to roll his wagon from one disaster to another, only to return 25 years later for more of the same! You’ll love it!

Barnstorming Romp
Just awesome.
Why isn't there a statue of Flashy in Central London?
One of the best stories out of the 12, in fact it's my equal 12th favorite.

Flashy at his best
The longest Flashman book, with two great twists and a surprising meeting near the end

Brilliant book
The best of them all. Great read, funny, educational and exciting.
What a great deal of research must have gone into this book to achieve the detail.
Pity George never got round to the Civil War shenanigans hinted at in the book.

Historical storytelling genius.
Superlative tale of The West through the looking glass of privileged Victorian values. It wouldn’t be published today perhaps so make the most of this High Tory yarn. One of the best of the Flashman papers. GMF is showing off his talent and hard work.
The reader makes a hash of the first person narrative every now and then but he does make an effort with differing accents. It must be tricky but for the price you’d expect an editor to be on hand with an ear for flow.

Another great Flashman tale
Lovely dove tail with his previous adventures in the US, this sees Flashmans’s sins of 20 years previous catch up with him as he joins the Sioux and Custer on an ill fated adventure

Outstanding
Excellent black comedy , farce and adventure
Double recommend for anyone interested in 19th century British and American history. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the dramatic reading is excellent. I couldn’t recommend any more highly.
One note of warning: This is book 7 , best to start with book 1

Flashman triumphs again
Where does Flashman and the Redskins rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Excellent. Another rattling good yarn from the master of Victorian fictional history
What other book might you compare Flashman and the Redskins to, and why?
Henty, Ronald Welch, all very interesting and entertaining, but nowhere near as funny as Flashman
What does Colin Mace bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
An excellent measured read - not too overpowering
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really
Any additional comments?
None - you're either an addict or you detest him
