«Flashman at the Charge» is the historical adventure novel by George MacDonald Fraser, published by HarperCollins in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Sir Harry Flashman, a cowardly and unscrupulous Victorian officer, takes part against his will in the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. After the disaster, his flights drag him across the Russian steppes, amid pursuits and hostile tribes, to a distant war in which the tsarist empire threatens India.
«Flashman at the Charge» belongs to The Flashman Papers series; the subtitle of this edition places the action in 1854-55, between the Crimean War and the threat to India.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction who appreciate a cynical protagonist and nineteenth-century military settings.
