Summary: Great book, touches all bases
Comment: This is a good book. I think it's best for those who are more interested in military history in general. I expected something else but that's my fault for not reading the description. This book gives and accurate account of history as well as interviews with legionaires AND personal thoughts. I recommend this book for those intersted in history. Not for those interested in joining.

Summary: A look inside a lifestyle of adventure and tradition.
Comment: This book, having bought and read it about 18 months ago, finds me now - 31 March 1999 in Metz, France - about to follow in the path of those men written about by the author. Its descriptive narrative combined with historic facts and personal stories of the various men, convinced me after many years of self doubt that this, The French Foreign Legion, is the lifestyle and destiny I seek for myself! It makes for easy reading, that is hard to put down till the end.

Summary: A comprehensive story of REP and La Légion Etrangère
Comment: This book is very in depth about the 1er and 2eme REP. It covers mostly the second, but it has some history of the first. Out of the entire book, only about 1/3 is history. The rest is the modern organization, weapons, training, people and duties of the last remaining parachute regiment. The author writes well, and much of the book he describes a personal trip he took to Calvi, Corsica to interview, observe, and interact with the legionnaires of the 2eme REP. This book also covers much of the Legion in general, so this book is off all prospective recruits. Buy it, it is a very good book.
