Synopsis"A jolly read."-- The Wall Street Journal The tenth installment in The Flashman Papers finds Captain Harry Flashman of Her Majesty's Secret Service in the antebellum South, where the irrepressible, globe-trotting Victorian becomes the target of blackmailing beauties. Evading danger, bedding women, and profiting from every opportunity, Flashman once again weasels his way into history, this time in John Brown's raid of Harper's Ferry, just before the Civil War. As a result of Flashy's letching, lying, cheating, and stealing on land, on sea, and on the rails, not only did John Brown become a martyr, Lincoln became president, and the nation plunged into a bloodbath.

John Brown's" gory halooya "
There's been much ink expended on John Brown. Hero, villain, crazed psychotic, beatific candidate for sainthood, but Fraser's take is on the core human being, observed as only Harry Flashman would see him. The human side of Brown, with all its contradictions is what's on offer in this book. Students of Brown and of the pre-civil war Underground Railroad, as well as those seeking a rollicking read will all enjoy this historical confection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
