pathos, and drama."

reviewed The French Foreign Legion: A Complete History of the Legendary Fighting Force on July 21, 2007 The French Foreign Legion
One of my favorite books, superbly researched and well written, and unbelievably funny at times. This is the model for what an institutional history should be for any military organization.
