I heartily second this one. Flashman is a coward and a philanderer who always seems to end up falling on his feet (or into a beautiful woman's bed) whilst others around him are being killed trying to be heroic. Beautifully written and, as Alex said, containing a wealth of historical data, I recommend them highly.
