First published in 1867, the novel follows the aristocratic Bertram Cecil, known as ' cigarettes' a dashing and enigmatic hero. He makes a noble sacrifice to save his brother, and finds himself thrust into the harsh world of the Foreign Legion.
Amidst the dangers and adventures of war, Bertram finds love with a fiery and independent woman. Ouida's vivid descriptions of military life, exotic landscapes, and passionate relationships made Under Two Flags an instant sensation and a lasting example of romantic adventure.
