{"product_id":"9780007593545","title":"Flashman on the March (The Flashman Papers, Book 11)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHarry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Brown’s schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents – horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany have marvelled at General Napier's daring 1868 expedition through the treacherous peaks and bottomless chasms of Abyssinia to rescue a small group of British citizens held captive by the mad tyrant Emperor Theodore. But the vital role of Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., in the success of this campaign has hitherto gone unrecorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlashman's undeserved reputation for heroism renders him the British Army's candidate of choice when it comes to skulking behind enemy lines in Ali Baba attire. After all, who but the great amorist could contemplate navigating a land populated by hostile tribes and the loveliest (and most savage) women in Africa, from leather-clad nymphs with a penchant for torture to a voluptuous barbarian queen with a reputation for throwing disobliging guests to her pet lions?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bestseller from George MacDonald Fraser, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a thrilling addition to the Flashman series. Set against the backdrop of 19th century Abyssinia, this historical fiction sees Flashman, the reluctant hero, once again at the centre of a daring military campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of P. G.
