About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn thus.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn.8vo HB+ dw/dj,1st thus,282pp includes b/w maps+photographs,appendices,a biblio and an index. Parker's searching interviews with dozens of legionnaires past and present offer a new perspective on this most extreme of fighting forces. Stories of the brutal training regime and ruthless,merciless NCOs have been told by the thousands who have deserted.The Legion's tortuous demands can stretch a man's mental and physical endurance to the very limit,and often beyond it.But those who stayed,and survived the hell,tell a different tale:no regrets.Starting with classic stories from the early years based upon original research,'Inside the Foreign Legion' also includes the experiences of legionnaires and their participation in major operations of modern times,from the Allied invasion of Narvik in WW2 through to the Gulf War and Bosnia.Legionnaires have been on the French frontlines of virtually every major war for more than 150 years.A simple statistic confirms it: 1,000 of its officers,3,500 NCOs and 35,000 legionnaires have died in active service since the Legion was founded in 1831.For the first time,Parker reveals the extraordinary story that one of their number,an Englishman,was nominated to become the real-life jackal - the man who attempted to assassinate President Charles de Gaulle. Sometimes shocking,often brutal,Inside the Foreign Legion makes compulsive reading for everyone who wants to know the truth about life inside the world's most infamous army.
