George MacDonald Fraser. What was great about Flashman was that he was still a cad in the novels.

Fraser was a young soldier in Burma during WWII. His Quartered Safe Out Here is one of the best war memoirs I've ever read.

That’s right! He was always a cad. That series was always being praised by Christopher Hitchens. I think I read the one about the Little Bighorn years ago.
