Flashman in the Great Game - first UK edition

by George MacDonald Fraser - signed

Fifth book in the series. Flashy gets caught up in the Indian Mutiny, the insurrection that was the watershed of the British Empire. Flashy's path crosses those of Cabinet Ministers, Queen Victoria, Florence Nightingale ('a cool piece that') Lord Palmerston, Azemoolah Khan, and the diabolical Count Ignatieff. From London to the Ganges and Jumna valleys of Northern India, secret agent Harry Flashman's adventures continue to test the questionable resources brought to bear by our craven hero!

Signed, "To Dad -all best wishes George MacDonald Fraser"
