This novel, the first in the Flashman series, chronicles the life of Harry Flashman, a character originally from Thomas Hughes's *Tom Brown's School Days*.

It follows Flashman's journey from his expulsion from Rugby School to his military career, where he becomes embroiled in significant historical events despite his cowardly nature.
