Devil's Guard: The Real Story by Eric Meyer

Devil's Guard: The Real Story by Eric Meyer

Following the myths and legends about Nazis recruited by the French Foreign Legion to fight in Indochina, Eric Meyer's new book is based on the real story of one such former Waffen-Ss man who lived to tell the tale. The Legion recruited widely from soldiers left unemployed and homeless by the defeat of Germany in 1945. They offered a new identity and passport to men who could bring their fighting abilities to the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become vietnam. These were ruthless, trained killers, brutalised by the war on the Eastern Front, their killing skills honed to a razor's edge. They found their true home in Indochina, where they fought and became a byword for brutal military efficiency.

Eric is the founder of Complex Spiral Consulting (www.complexspiral.com), which counts among its clients America Online, Apple Computer, Inc., Wells Fargo Bank, and Macromedia, which called Eric a vital partner in our efforts to transform Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 into a groundbreaking tool for CSS-based design.
