A very entertaining depiction of a Victorian antihero. Flashman is a cowardly, womanizing scoundrel trying to survive in an era that put courage, honor, and proper behavior on a pedestal. Whereas his comrades might believe that there is nothing more noble than to die for the British Empire, Flashman is convinced that there is nothing more foolish. Of course, since even he would prefer to be treated with respect, Flashman masks his cowardly ways with hollow bravado and, through a combination of keen survival skills (i.e. running or hiding whenever the opportunity presents itself) and sheer luck, he actually manages to build a reputation as a war hero. The novel itself is admirably well researched, with ample references to obscure historical events, as befitting a novel purported to be the man's actual memoirs. Apparently others carry this further, going so far as to contain numerous footnotes in an effort to portray the novel as scandalous real history rather than a work of fiction. Also of note is this novel's connection to the actual 19th century memoir "Tom Brown's School Days", which was the original source for the character of Flashman, who was the prototypical example of the craven schoolyard bully. Flashman, as narrator, is quite candid about this connection and even goes so far as to provide the "real story" behind events in that book. All this being said, I felt that this book showed poor promise than actual brilliance of its own. I firmly believe that later ones will prove to be much more polished.
