About this listen

This book finds Thomas Flashman, a British army officer, landing on the shores of the United States at the worst possible moment - just when the United States has declared war with Britain! Having already endured enough with his earlier adventures, he desperately wants to go home but finds himself drawn inexorably into this new conflict. He is soon dodging musket balls, arrows, and tomahawks as he desperately tries to keep his scalp intact and on his head.

It is an extraordinary tale of an almost forgotten war, with inspiring leaders, incompetent commanders, a future American president, terrifying warriors (and their equally intimidating women), brave sailors, trigger-happy madams, and a girl in a wet dress who could have brought a city to a standstill. Flashman plays a central role and reveals that he was responsible for the disgrace of one British general, the capture of another, and for one of the biggest debacles in British military history.

I had left listening to this audio book till last preferring to hear of flashmans adventures in the peninsula war and at Waterloo first, mainly because I had found the adventures of George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman in America tedious. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. this adventure has very little to do with America and covers a period of history of which I was unaware. I can highly recommend it.
