Appel: A Canadian in the French Foreign Legion is the first-hand
account of the author's six years as a professional soldier during
the 1990s, and his experience in the Legion's elite Groupe des
Commandos Parachutistes (GCP). Joel Struthers recounts the dangers
and demands of military life, from the rigours of recruitment and
operational training in the rugged mountains of France, to
face-to-face combat in the grasslands of some of Africa's most
troubled nations. Told through the eyes of a soldier, and
interspersed with humorous anecdotes, Appel is a fascinating story
that debunks myths about the French Foreign Legion and shows it
more accurately as a professional arm of the French military.
Struthers provides insight into the rigorous discipline that the
Legion instills in its young recruits, - who trade their identities
as individuals for a life of adventure and a role in a unified
fighting force whose motto is ""Honour and Loyalty."" Foreword by
Col. Benoit Desmeulles, former commanding officer of the Legions 2e
Regiment Etranger Parachutistes.
