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. As a historical fiction, FLASHMAN by George MacDonald Fraser, the Sunday Times bestselling author, takes us on a thrilling journey through the 19th century. The bestseller is a testament to Fraser's ability to weave a tale of adventure and deceit, making it a top pick for any avid reader. For fans of Robert Harris (V2), Larry Mcmurtry (Lonesome Dove), James Holland (The Odin Mission), William Boyd (Love is Blind), and Peter Gibbons (Brothers of the Sword).
