1.0 out of 5 stars More a history book than fact finding, 15 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I like many others am interested in the French Foreign Legion as an Army in their own right. Most FFL books that I buy are for hard facts about life in the FFL. This book is more a history book with many references to names and backgrounds of soldiers as opposed to the soldiers lives in the Legion. I bought this book after hearing good things about it but after reading halfway through I skipped to the last 2 chapters which covers the modern Legion and did not read any more. If you have read Simon Murrays book on Life in the Legion and this is the sort of thing you are after then dont bothere with this book. It is not for you. If you are after a indepth reference and history book which includes the structure of the legion and not the day to day happenings in the Legion, then you will enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good book showing how the Legion has changed, 18 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This book has a remarkably interesting history on the FFL with lots of quotes from British people who served in the Legion, this book is especially good if you own any other book on the ffl talking about modern life in the ffl as you can see how much it has changed over the past 50 years
