Meet the author
George MacDonald Fraser was a decorated combat veteran of the British Army's Fourteenth Army in the Burma Campaign, the longest and hardest-fought British campaign of the Second World War. This firsthand experience of military life, from its grim realities to its absurdities, directly informed his creation of the rogueish Victorian anti-hero, Harry Flashman. Fraser combined his historical scholarship with his soldier's insight to create a series that is both hilariously entertaining and a remarkably authentic portrait of the British Empire.
