It also analysis the outfit's robust attitude bto discipline, question why desertion is perennial problem abd assesses the Legion's military achievements since its formation ninc1831. This is the real story of the Legion, featuring first hand accounts from the men who have fought in its ranks. It's scope ranges from the conquest of the colonies in Africa and the far East, though the horrors of two World Wars to the bitter but ultimately hopeless battles to maintain Frence's imperial possessions.
