The unclipped dust jacket (£3.95 net) is in excellent condition, retaining vivid colours without fading, showing only trivial rubbing to the spine ends and extreme corners. It is now protected in a removable mylar sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a first edition, first impression of the fifth instalment in George MacDonald Fraser's acclaimed Flashman series.

Despite his persistent acts of cowardice and self-preservation, Flashman inadvertently secures himself the Victoria Cross and a knighthood in this thrilling, meticulously researched historical romp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323559039315,"sku":"4613","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260714_141024.jpg?v=1784193168","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/flashman-in-the-great-game-george-macdonald-fraser-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
