	Flashman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Flashman is the first in a series of nine books (so far), and chronicles Sir Harry's life since leaving Rugby School through his thoroughly unwilling participation in the First Afghanistan War in 1842.
		The account of the retreat is one of suffering and heroism - though not by Flashman, who's cowardly and despicable conduct were not witnessed by any who survived, and who was mistaken as the heroic commander of the defense at Piper's Fort (Flash Harry spent most of his time cowering under his cot).
		Flashman, now an old man telling the story of his life, has resolved to hide nothing of his own true conduct and feelings, however damning.

	Flashman
		Flashman takes pains to demonstrate that, under the proper circumstances he is a liar, cheat, womanizer, thief, and coward.
		Fraser suggests in Flashman that the standard was never much more than fantasy but one that was accepted and represented as reality by the entire upper class and much of the upper middle class of England and the rest of Western Europe.
		Flashman is no cad, he just refuses to accept on the inner level, the illusion.

	Chiliawallah - A plausible answer
		Flashman is a liar and a good one; his slip in the Crimea papers was probably through habit of maintaining this great lie, and not through direct dishonesty towards his readers!
		Had Flashman found himself at Chilianwala, where so many were accused of cowardice, he clearly have fled at the first opportunity with all the other officers and troopers and therefore been open to the ridicule the rest of the brigade faced.
		Flashman might have maintained the mystery of his movements by saying he had been in the hills watching the Sikhs when Gough had approached Chilianwala.

	The Flashman series by George Macdonald Fraser
		Flashman first appeared as the bully in Tom Brown's Schooldays, and over the course of these books, Flashman recounts tales of his service at numerous major military disasters, from the Charge of the Light Brigade to Rorke's Drift.
		Flashman is a coward, a scoundrel and a self-confessed poltroon, and yet somehow manages to get promoted through the ranks of the British army to brigadier-general over the course of the books.
		When Flashman accepted an invitation to join in a friendly cricket match, he little knew that he was letting himself in for a desperate game that would see him from the wicket at Lord's to the jungle lairs of Borneo pirates, from a Newgate hanging to the torture pits of Madagascar.

		Flashman has very good instincts about nastiness - he should, considering his earthly habits - and he sourly suspects that Laurence has always wanted to really put a sinner through his paces.
		Michael is a sneaky bastard (Harry considers this a compliment, by the way), and he doesn't respond to the least little infraction by assigning ten thousand pushups.
		While Flashman's riding abilities aren't as important to modern campaigns as they were during his lifetime, his talents at linguistics and mendacity will probably never go out of style.

	Flashman - George MacDonald Fraser
		Flashman fans are a devoted, enthusiastic lot, and we have yet to meet anyone who has read a Flashman and not enjoyed it (though there must be some such fools out there).
		Fraser claims that Flashman wrote his memoirs in his old age, and that these were rediscovered in 1965 and that Fraser was asked to edit them.
		Much of the fun in these books is that, despite his best efforts, Flashman always manages to wind up right where the action is -- and that he invariably emerges as the hero (if only because all the witnesses to his cowardice are dead).

		Flashman is the leading light, and is the bully of Tom Brown's schooldays if you've ever read it.
		For those of you who have never heard of Harry Flashman before, he is the bully and cad from Tom Brown's Schooldays (and incidentally the only character worth remembering amongst the various hypocritical do-gooding manly little Christians that are otherwise described).
		I do believe that although there are no redeeming qualities about Flashman's character we are dragged into liking him due to his honesty as a writer (for these papers are his recollections) and his bucket loads of style.

	Telegraph \| News \| Spirit of Flashman stalks corridors of top boarding schools
		Flashman, the arch bully and bounder who stalked the pages of Tom Brown's Schooldays, would feel at home.
		More than 150 years since the Victorian cad became a byword for public school thuggery, today's boarding schools are still infected with the same 19th-century culture of squalid dormitories, "idiosyncratic" punishments, bullying and poor food.
		Among the schools with some practices that Flashman might recognise was Bedford, founded 1552, where inspectors' discussions with boarders "identified that some of the 'fourths' had been subject to 'birthday beatings' and 'dorm raids' by the 'removes'."

		Flashman meets the young Bismarck, incurs his enmity, and is later flmailed into assisting him (and his deadly henchman, Rudi Starnberg) in the creation of a German empire by impersonating Danish Prince Carl Gustaf on his wedding day.
		Flashman is posted off to India under the banner of the diplomatic corps to cultivate an influential Maharani, and becomes embroiled in the bloody colonial war between the British and a massive Sikh army -- the terrible Khalsa.
		Flashman's whereabouts from 1865 to 1876 are as yet undetailed, although 1876 does see him visiting the US from England (and ending up at the Battle of the Little Big Horn for good measure), and various references in other sections of the Papers place him everywhere from Paraguay to Italy during these years.

		This time, Flashman is called into service just as the 80,000-strong Sikh army, the Khalsa, appears ready to sweep down on the English and drive them out once and for all.
		Flashman is drawn into behind-the-scenes subterfuge that take him from the Sikh royal court to the middle of bloody battlefields.
		The first novel, "Flashman", remains my favorite because the young character flees from every battle, and it is only through luck and chicanery that he rises to his fame.

	Sir Harry Flashman - a tribute to a great Victorian
		Apart from the obvious delight of not one but three Flashman memoirs contained in Flashman and the Tiger, it is the greatly expanded Who's Who entry I draw your attention to.
		From Jack Flashman to Augustus, here are seven generations of the Flashman family and how the Morrison and Paget families got entangled with them.
		As many of you are aware the Flashman Papers, while being a marvellous source for Victorian history, are riddled with errors and inconsistencies, the most (in)famous of which is the 'Chillianwallah Incident'.

		In FLASHMAN'S LADY, the reader is apprised of the private war against the pirates of the East Indies by the eccentric English imperialist, James Brooke, and the reign of terror perpetuated by that female Caligula of the period, Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar.
		Flashman must fight, however unwillingly, to get her back - until they both end up in the hands of the bloodthirsty queen of Madagascar, Ranavalona I. This is a fine entry in the series, possibly a little more heavy on the humor this time around than the adventure.
		Flashman of Flashman's Lady is a great place to begin the Flashman tour of the British Army during the 19th Century, the roll on the floor laughter of Frazer's characterization, the relatively accurate history that goes with this historical fiction.

		Flashman meets many eminent Victorian characters in the course of his misadventures.
		Flashman and the Tiger is now the title of another volume of The Flashman Papers, and the book as published on these shores consists of three novelettes.
		I've developed a long memory for Flashman's antiheroism, and even though it had been several years since my last volume I felt as though I was reading the same thing over again.

		4:63 Flashman on America: You look at a map of America nowadays, and there she is civilised (give or take the population) from sea to sea.
		5:9 Flashman proves he's not a rake: I'm not just an indiscriminate rake, you see; I like to be interested in a woman in a way that is not merely carnal, to find out new facinations in her with each encounter, those enchanting, mysterious, indefinable qualities, like the shape of her tits.
		20:65 Flashman on his ability to persuade with his eyes: God knows I'd been looking at women all my life, ardent, loving, lustful, worshipful, respectful, mocking, charming, and gallant as gadfrey, and while I've had a few clips on the ear and knees in the crotch, more often than not is has worked.

		Yet, Flashman's sense of self-preservation and -promotion, add a contemporary edge, that make him so appealing to mankind entering the 21st century.
		I would not be surprised, if those two -and many, many others for that matter- each had armies of Flashmans in their closets.
		There are so many gems throughout the book that it is hard to choose a favorite, but for me Flashman's attempt at fornication on the horrific retreat from Afghanistan is one of the greatest tour de forces in the history of comedy writing.

	Flashman and the Tiger - George MacDonald Fraser
		In the last, Flashman and the Tiger, he is almost driven to murder when his granddaughter and her intended are flmailed by someone from Flashman's past.
		Flashman does save the day, and though it is not the most dramatic of resolutions in a Flashman-tale it makes for the usual entertaining read, with all the usual entertaining elements (bumbling, cowardice, surprises, shoot-outs and sword fights, and considerably more).
		Flashman has killed before ("more than a hundred, easy, I should think -- which ain't a bad tally for a true-blue coward who'd sooner shirk a fight than eat his dinner"), but premeditation was rarely part of the equation.

	Review - Flashman and the Tiger
		Flashman and the Tiger is not a new novel but a collection of three novellas – all featuring an elderly but still formidable Colonel Sir Harry Flashman.
		Flashman is an utter flguard who is, nonetheless, ruthlessly honest with his readers and it’s impossible not to enjoy his alternately ironic and sardonic narrative style.
		The second novella in Flashman and the Tiger – perhaps the best – is The Tranby Croft Scandal which is both a tremendously entertaining "read" and an excellent analysis of one of the most puzzling mysteries in the history of British jurisprudence.
