Excellent look at the French Foreign Legion by Windrow, taking a rather random time period. The book lacks focus - it goes all over the world, like the Legion - Algeria, Morocco, Vietnam, Dahomey - cutting out in the 1930s.
Full of bright, vivid stories - sieges in exotic forts, battles in the mud. I really enjoyed the stuff on Beau Geste and PC Wren, too.
