Description
Flashman and the Redskins is the seventh book in the celebrated Flashman Papers series, combining historical adventure, satire, and scandal in George MacDonald Fraser’s signature style. This volume follows the infamous Harry Flashman across America, first during the Gold Rush of 1849 and later at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Along the way, the cowardly yet cunning rogue rubs shoulders with iconic Native American leaders, frontiersmen, soldiers, and politicians, all while stumbling into chaos, danger, and lustful escapades.
Fraser’s meticulous historical research is laced with biting humour, as Flashman’s self-serving antics expose the brutality, corruption, and absurdity of nineteenth-century America. From bawdy misadventures to life-or-death scrapes, the novel captures both the spirit of the Old West and the farcical incompetence of its reluctant “hero.” With its vivid settings and satirical edge, Flashman and the Redskins continues the series’ reputation as one of the most entertaining blends of history and fiction.
Outrageous, scandalous, and wickedly funny, Flashman and the Redskins is perfect for readers who enjoy historical adventures filled with satire and an unforgettable anti-hero.
