Overview

Here, as in no book yet written about the French Foreign Legion, the realities of day to day Legion life are explained - from the tedium in which grudges can fester to the adrenaline of the battlefield. The mixed motivations of the men who join up are revealed as are the methods used to indoctrinate a raw, rookie civilian into becoming a motivated, cold blooded killer. Often the Legionnaires featured in The Naked Soldier did not know where they had been sent into battle or why - this seldom troubled them.
