The classic adventure and military coming-of-age back in print.
Simon Murray joined the Legion as a young man inspired by the romantic myth of Beau Geste, but found himself in the ranks of one of the world's great fighting forces. His unique diary of hard living, harsh discipline, and the military tradition of 'March or Die' has 'the drama, excitement and colour of a good guts-and-glory thriller' (Henry Kissinger).
