«Flashman and the Charge of the Light Brigade» is the historical fiction novel by George MacDonald Fraser, in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
The action is set in the Crimean War and recreates the famous charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. George MacDonald Fraser presents the episode as a chain of absurdities: it is started by a drunkard, continued by a madman, and finished by a gang of heroic cowards. Flashman messes everything up and, even so, ends up taking the credit for the disaster.
Translation by Ana Herrera. Part of the series The Adventures of Harry Flashman, published in the Pocket Edhasa collection.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction looking for a satirical and irreverent take on a famous military episode.
George MacDonald Fraser was a British author and screenwriter. He is best known for a series of works that featured the character Flashman.
