This is the second rollicking book in the "Flashman Papers", the very entertaining copious, and scandalous memoirs of Harry Flashman's illustrious military career spanning the entire Victorian period.
The history is accurate, but the presentation is frought with perils, narrow-escapes, frequent sexual liasons, and continous exposure of the foibles and cock-ups of his famous peers.
These books will have the reader chuckling non-stop, laughing out loud, and perhaps even rolling on the floor a time or two while getting a thorough grounding in the history of the period. They're delightfully amusing, risque, informative and a joy to read.
