New insights are also provided into the formation of the IRA, the First Afghan War and the dubious acquisition by the British crown of the cursed Koh-i-Noor diamond. If this were not enough, Flashman's Secret also reveals Nelson's actual last words and the existence of a sinister and murderous secret society at the heart of the British establishment" --
