About this listen

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

'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

A ripping yarn, highly inappropriate but hugely entertaining and almost historically correct . Another classic flashy.

Fraser maintains the outrageously amusing and excellent standard of the Flashman series in this latest tale. This one has the strongest resolution yet.

What an absolute joy to listen to. I have just listened to the Rest is History’s series on Custer and it’s clear, this was an important source. I can’t recommend the series highly enough. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face while learning an enormous amount. Brilliant!

All history writing should be this good.

A cracking yarn coupled with an incredible performance. I’ve read most of the Flashman Papers now, and I enjoyed this one the most. The delivery is fantastic, and the story itself bursts with humour and spirit, the descriptions of 19th century America and the wild characters that populated it are wonderful. These adventures of literature’s
most celebrated cad amongst the Apache and the Sioux, along with brilliant observations of Custer, Wild Bill Hickock, amongst so many other historical figures of the west, are woven together into a yarn so entertaining and often hilarious, that you won’t want it to end. Capital, absolutely capital!

Flashy at his best
