Flashman at the Charge - first UK edition

by George MacDonald Fraser

Fourth book in the Flashman series. Flashy and the Light Brigade confront destiny (and Lord Cardigan) as well as the Russian guns at Balaclava, at the famous charge. With scarcely time to catch his breath, additional responsibilities to save the world then call Flashy to the snow-bound wastes of the great Russian slave-empire; there is nothing to stop the armed might of Imperial Russia but the wavering sabre and terrified ingenuity of the bullying poltroon of "Tom Brown's Schooldays", that arch-cad of Victorian history, Harry Flashman.

Near fine book bright red book with silver lettering on spine, in fine condition, with fine jacket. Marvelous jacket illustration by A. E. Barbosa.
