Highly recommend the Flashman series. Author is George Mac
Donald Fraser and the books are very historically (Victorian era around the British empire) accurate. Main character is Harry Flashman of British Army Intelligence. He is a coward and a womanizer but always manages to be present at momentous events (Charge of the Light Brigade, Sacking of the Summer Palace, Retreat from Kabul, Several incidents in India).
Although technically fiction, they are extremely accurate and very entertaining.
