Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:The French Foreign Legion has built a reputation as one the world's most formidable and colourful military institutions. Established as a means of absorbing foreign troublemakers, the Legion spearheaded French colonialism in North Africa during the nineteenth century. Accepting volunteers from all parts of the world, the Legion acquired an aura of mystery and a less-than-enviable reputation for extreme brutality within its ranks.
Voices of the Foreign Legion explores how the Legion selects its recruits, their native lands, and why these warriors seek a life full of hardship and danger. It analyses the Legion's brutal attitude towards discipline, questions why desertion has been a perennial problem, and assesses the Legion's remarkable military achievemnets since its formation in the year 1831. This is the real story of the Legion, featuring firsthand accounts from the men who have fought in its ranks. Its scope ranges from the conquest of the colonies in Africa and Far East through the horrors of two world wars, to the bitter, but ultimately hopeless, battle to maintain France's far flung imperial possessions. The Story is bought fully up to date with accounts and anecdotes from those contemporary foreign legionnaires who continue to fight for French interests around the globe.
