About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1972. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Fine/Near Fine.
Gilt spine titles on maroon cloth with stamped decoration. The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. First American Edition. The dust jacket designed by Barbosa is price-clipped and has a hint of toning on the spine. The top edge with publisher's blush-red stain.
A collectible copy. "A one-man demolition squad....As irreverent and as picaresque as Tom Jones, always more dramatic and often funnier." (Chicago Today)
Flashman is shanghaied in London and dumped on a slave ship, with an army of Amazons and then the U.S. navy in hot pursuit. Jumping ship, he becomes a slave overseer, slave runner and slave stealer. A certain "mighty fancy goddamn legal beanpole" by the name of Congressman Abraham Lincoln outwits him before he finally escapes from the slave marts of antebellum Mississippi with his very unusual Liza.

Synopsis
A game of cards leads Flashman from the jungle death-house of Dahomey to the slave state of Mississippi as he dabbles in the slave trade in Volume II of the Flashman PapersWhen Flashman was inveigled into a game of pontoon with Disraeli and Lord George Bentinck, he was making an unconscious choice about his own future – would it lie in the House of Commons or the West African slave trade? Was there, for that matter, very much difference?Once again Flashman's charm, cowardice, treachery, lechery and fleetness of foot see the lovable rogue triumph by the skin of his chattering teeth.
