Flashman

George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Papers are a series of novels following the misadventures of Sir Harry Paget Flashman across the latter decades of the 19th century. Despite being a totally self-serving, immoral coward, Flashman's quick thinking and luck result in him enjoying a successful military career, surviving historical massacres that claim the lives of more heroic and worthy individuals. Through his life he constantly encounters famous historical figures and finds himself present at momentous events that go down in history, such as the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
