The French Foreign Legion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This rather large format book has been out of print for some time. However, its one of the best of its kind. It presents a wealth of detailed photographs of operational life within the Legion's units. Those colour plates follow each step in the recruiting, training and operational deployment process for a legionnaire. The author had the full support of the (normally quite secretive) Legion in preparing this pictorial history. That level of support shows up in the quality and scope of this book. Beyond the book's pictorial focus, its editorial content and Legion history material provides an overall balance to the work.
