"A pleasure to read and nearly impossible to put down."
-Army Times
"Embodies an experience that many have enjoyed in fantasy-few in
reality."
-The Washington Post
The French Foreign Legion-mysterious, romantic, deadly-is filled
with men of dubious character, and hardly the place for a proper
Englishman just nineteen years of age. Yet in 1960, Simon Murray
traveled alone to Paris, Marseilles, and ultimately Algeria to
fulfill the toughest contract of his life: a five-year stint in the
Legion. Along the way, he kept a diary.
Legionnaire is a compelling, firsthand account of Murray's
experience with this legendary band of soldiers. This gripping
journal offers stark evidence that the Legion's reputation for
pushing men to their breaking points and beyond is well deserved.
In the fierce, sun-baked North African desert, strong men cracked
under brutal officers, merciless training methods, and barbarous
punishments. Yet Murray survived, even thrived. For he shared one
trait with these hard men from all nations and backgrounds: a
determination never to surrender.
"The drama, excitement, and color of a good guts-and-glory
thriller."
-Dr. Henry Kissinger
