Title: Triumph of the Wicked!
Product review: Fraser is an absolute master of historical fiction. In this, the first effort in the acclaimed "Flashman" series, Fraser is at the top of his game. In this spare, but well crafted narrative we follow the early career of the datardly and unrepentant scoundrel, Harry Flashman in the first Afghanistan War. It is rare that a book can make you howl with laughter while teaching you history at the same time. Flashman undergoes a harrowing experience on the retreat from Kabul, in the process becoming one of the most delightfully politically-incorrect heroes in popular fiction. The character is wonderful, the plot is superb, and the history is dead-on accurate. Any fans of historical fiction (with a mature sense of humor) would do well to make the acquaintance of Sir Harry Flashman. And this is the place to start.
