Hardback. Zustand: Good. The French Foreign Legion has built a reputation as one of the world's most formidable and colorful 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 analyzes the Legion's brutal attitude toward discipline, questions why desertion has been a perennial problem, and assesses the Legion's remarkable military achievements 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 the Far East through the horrors of the two world wars, to the bitter, but ultimately hopeless, battle to maintain France's far-flung imperial possessions. The story is brought fully up-to-date with accounts and anecdotes from those contemporary foreign legionnaires who continue to fight for French interests around the globe.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As the last major campaign fought exclusively by British and Commonwealth forces, the Western Desert continues to exert a fascination. From Wavell's offensive against the Italians in 1940, through the battles with Rommel's Afrika Corps, to the British success at Alamein, the Desert War remains one of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of World War II. In this book, assembled with the co-operation of the staff of the Imperial War Museum, are unpublished extracts from memoirs, diaries, letters and taped interviews. They reflect the experience of the campaign, from the noise and smoke of battle and the vagaries of desert life to leave spent in Cairo and Alexandria, the development of the Long Range Desert Group and the SAS, Rommel and the Afrika Corps and the role of the Commonwealth forces. Published on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Alamein, this book serves as a reminder of the human face of war. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
