Product Description

Synopsis

George MacDonald Fraser's famous Flashman series appearing for the first time in B-format with an exciting new series style, ready to please his legions of old fans and attract armies of new ones. The Flashman Papers 1849--50 and 1875--1876 Vol. Seven What was Harry Flashman doing on the slopes of the Little Bighorn, caught between the gallant remnant of Custer's 7th Cavalry and the withering 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 with his honour) intact after setting the American West by its ears. Here is the legendary and authentic West of the Mangas Colorado and Kit Carson, of Custer and Spotted Tail, of Crazy Horse and the Deadwood stage, gunfighters and gamblers, eccentrics, scoundrels and, of course, Indian belles, dusky beauties, enthusiastic widows and mysterious adventuresses; this seventh volume of The Flashman Papers shows the West as it really was. Terrifying!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERBLY POLITICALLY INCORRECT, 13 Jan 2003
Having read American Studies as part of my degree this book is an absolute and incomparable dream for me; a historian who was actually there when the historic events in the 'Native American's' history took place, either rogering or running from one situation to the next.

Flashman comes to us from the book Tom Brown's Schooldays as the cheif bully. Through the various volumes of his memoires we have followed him form one military catastrophy to another as he retreats whenever possible, blaspheming on the way. In this volume we cover his time as an 1849er travelling to Santa Fey, and in the second half he manages to be part of Custer's Last stand.

The beauty of this book, as with all Flashman's, is the truth of the author, who remains accurate to events, and educates the reader (albeit unwittingly) along the way. He is never frightened of telling it straight and damning the liberals along the way. But the bottom line is always that this is just his opinion, taken from his viewpoint.

I recommend this book to anyone with a soul and a sense of humour...

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic 'factional' tale from GMF, 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Is George MacDonald Fraser Scotland's finest storyteller since Stevenson ?

Unquestionably.

There's no chance he'll ever win the Booker Prize, but his books are invariably more entertaining, informative and a **** better read than much of what sits on our bookshop shelves today.

This episode from the memoirs of history's most decorated coward sees the bold Harry Flashman, amongst other escapades, providing us with the definitive version of how George A Custer met his grisly end at Little Big Horn. And how did H Flashman Esq survive to tell the tale ....... read and find out !

The usual blend of historical fact - wonderfully researched and annotated - and inspired imagination, make this one of the finest entries in the magnificent Flashman chronicles.

Read and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars How the West was really won, 20 Feb 2007
By Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Flashman and the Redskins (Flashman 06) (Paperback)
This is yet another triumph in the Flashman-series. When I was halfway through I became ill but even with a splitting headache I found myself reading until well into the night and laughing out loud in bed (to my wife's amazement).

If you're keen on historical novels and like a good laugh, there's nothing that comes even remotely close!
