#19. The Road to Charing Cross ( Part 1 ) - Flashman and the Tiger
Flashman aged: 56
Years: 1878
*Notes
How did the Times get the scoop on the 1878 congress of Berlin? Flashy of course! Through the machinations of Henri Blowitz Journalist for the Times, Flashman has the chance to get one over an old foe Otto von Bismark, and make the intimate acquaintance of the lovely Caprice of the french secret service. A rare danger free period of Flashmans life.
The treaty signed at the congress of Berlin whilst at the time hailed as a great peacemaking achievement caused a great resentment in many of the participating countries, which festered until the first world war in 1914.
