Download Flashman in the Peninsula: Adventures of Thomas Flashman, Book 3 AudioBook Free
This is the third installment in the memoirs of the Georgian Englishman, Thomas Flashman, which were recently discovered on a well-known public sale website. Thomas is the uncle of the notorious Victorian rogue, Harry Flashman, whose memoirs have been completely posted, edited by George MacDonald Fraser. Thomas stocks many of the family traits, particularly the capacity to find himself reluctantly at the distinct end of several major happenings of his time. While many folks have written catalogs and books on the Peninsular Warfare, Thomas Flashman's memoirs provide a unique point of view. They include new accounts of famous fights, but also incredible incidents and characters almost neglected by background. Flashman is unveiled as the catalyst to one of the greatest royal scandals of the 19th century, which disgraced a prince and eventually produced one in our greatest novelists. In Spain and Portugal, he witnesses catastrophic incompetence and incredible courage in equal measure. He is present at a fantastic action where a little group of men halted the army of a French marshal in its monitors. His flatulent horse may have routed a Spanish regiment, while his cowardice and poltroonery certainly preserved the British army from a French trap. Combined with Lord Byron's dog, Flashman faces loss of life from Polish lancers and a vengeful Spanish midget, not forgetting finding time to execute a blasphemous function with the famous Maid of Zaragoza. That is a merchant account made more astonishing as the key facts are validated by various historical resources.
