The tenth installment in George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman Papers series finds the notorious Harry Flashman caught up in one of the most explosive moments in American history — John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry in 1859. Swept into the turmoil surrounding slavery, abolition, and the growing tensions that would lead to the Civil War, Flashman once again relies on his trademark cowardice, cunning, and dubious charm to survive.
Combining meticulous historical detail with dark humor and brilliant satire, Fraser delivers another irresistible tale of adventure, deceit, and survival through the eyes of literature’s most incorrigible scoundrel.
