Flash for Freedom! (The Flashman Papers, Book 5)

Product Information

In this installment Flashman works as a crewmember on a slave ship traveling from Europe to Africa and then on to New Orleans, where he ends up working for the underground railroad assisting runaway slaves to escape to the north. Of course, his participation in both these occupations is involuntary and since they both involve personal danger he isn't well pleased with either of them.

I left North Korea in late 2009 when I was 23. At the time, the scale of my work and business was growing, but so too was the frequency of authorities’ apprehension of my underground activities. The rewards and risks were escalating, and I didn’t know whether it would continue to be ultimately worth it. Mr. Mandeville - Annette's husband, who sells Flashman into slavery after she accuses him of rape. By the time of Flashman and the Angel of the Lord he has died of alcohol poisoning.

However, considering the current climate in the US, the denial of systemic racism by the right, the mistreatment of Negroes by the police, Republican governors passing anti-voting laws and denying Critical Race teaching in schools, it's probably not a bad book to be read as it describes the slave trade and treatment of slaves in the harshest possible terms. Even though it's fiction, there are interesting factoids provided at the end of the story. His description of the period is excellent (accurate? well, I can't actually verify it as I'm not quite that old), you can see it in your mind very clearly. The appearance of Abe Lincoln made me feel better, one of the positives in the book. This audio CD-MP3 works on your computer.

Omaha World The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next Wonderful and scandalous. Publishers Weekly Raising the public awareness of the issue through social media platforms and leveraging one’s connections to those in decision-making positions in communities and governments to create environments conducive to such civil society organizations’ activities and thereby exerting pressure on the North Korean regime are also crucial ways to help the North Korean people.

A run in with the US Navy after they unload most of the slaves at Honduras lands Flashman and the crew in the USA, but he has a scheme, and ends up on the side of the law, but not for long. The Underground Railroad engage his services to accompany a man up to Canada, but even then circumstances conspire against Flashy, and he must make an escape again. From here, the story is far from over. In the long term, I want to see a North Korean society where its citizens are able to take matters in their hand concerning their future by electing leaders whom North Koreans regard as their representatives and being able to come to the United States and elsewhere to travel and study like their counterparts in the South.
