Zustand: As New. : En la secuela de Los Centuriones, Jean Lartéguy nos presenta una novela sobre la guerra moderna, admirada por expertos militares, con un prólogo del General Stanley McChrystal. Basada en los eventos de mayo de 1958 en Francia y Argelia, Los Pretorianos retoma los pasos de Los Centuriones, que fue calificada como "un impresionante reflejo de la guerra moderna" por Stanley McChrystal. Después de recurrir a tácticas de guerra de guerrillas, un grupo de paracaidistas franceses que sirven en la Guerra de Argelia es llamado a responder por acciones que consideran necesarias, aunque inmorales. Temiendo otra pérdida del honor francés, traman un golpe que resulta en el regreso al poder de Charles de Gaulle y la muerte de uno de los suyos. Con resonancia a los conflictos modernos en Irak, Afganistán y otros lugares, Los Pretorianos desarrolla aún más algunos de los temas más persistentes y pertinentes de Lartéguy: la contrainsurgencia, la naturaleza fea y moralmente conflictiva de la guerra moderna y la brecha aparentemente insalvable entre las experiencias de los soldados y de los civiles a los que sirven.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jean Lartéguy's unflinching sequel to The Centurions, a searing novel of modern warfare admired by military experts, with a foreword by General Stanley McChrystal Based on the events of May 1958 in France and Algeria, The Praetorians picks up in the footsteps of The Centurions, which was called "a stunning reflection of modern war" by Stanley McChrystal. After turning to tactics of guerilla warfare, a group of French paratroopers serving in the Algerian War is called to answer for actions they consider necessary, however immoral. Fearing another loss of French honor, they plot a coup that results in the return to power of Charles de Gaulle and the death of one of their own. With resonance to modern conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, The Praetorians further develops some of Lartéguy's most persistent and pertinent themes: counterinsurgency, the ugly, morally conflicted nature of modern war, and the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between the experiences of soldiers and of the civilians they serve.
