Voices of the Foreign LegionThe French Foreign Legion in Its Own Words by Gilbert Adrian D
The French Foreign Legion has established a reputation as the most formidable of military institutions. This book looks at how the Legion selects its recruits, where they come from and why they seek a life of hardship and danger. It analyses the Legion's 'robust' attitude to discipline and questions why desertion is a perennial problem.
Adrian Gilbert is a writer and editorial consultant specialising in military and historical subjects. He has contributed to several military TV documentaries and written for a variety of publications including The Good Book Guide, Gramophone, Time Out and The Guardian.
