Much romanticized but barely known in its reality, the French Foreign Legion has had a more morally dubious history than Ouida's popular novel Under Two Flags might indicate. Porch has written a fascinating and revealing history of the unit. "Excellent...This book has been an education for me"--Phillip Knightley, NY Times Book Review
