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.
Expelled from Rugby for drunkenness, and none too welcome at home after seducing his father’s mistress, the young Flashman embarks on a military career with Lord Cardigan’s Hussars.
En route to Afghanistan, our hero hones his skills as a soldier, duellist, imposter, coward and amorist (mastering all 97 ways of Hindu love-making during a brief sojourn in Calcutta), before being pressed into reluctant service as a secret agent. His Afghan adventures culminate in a starring role in that great historic disaster, the Retreat from Kabul.

Eleştirmen yorumları
'The Flashman Papers do what all great sagas do – winning new admirers along the way but never, ever betraying old ones. It is an immense achievement.' Sunday Telegraph
‘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
No doubt the lefties and virtue signallers will be outraged and triggered by the language and attitudes of the day. Normal people however will for the most part find this somewhat disturbing in places but very funny in others. I loved it and look forward to the next one.
Excellent as expected

What made the experience of listening to Flashman the most enjoyable?
The weaving of historical /military events with humor, rich, brilliant nasty characters...you can't like Flashman - not that he cares - but you have to admire his ability to squirm and get away - just fabulous.What did you like best about this story?
The merging of history (some not that well known) and fiction - somehow makes the real events more vividWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Turning this off midstream would have been criminal; indeed I'm sure Flashman would have roasted me over a fire for it!Flashman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
