Book Description
This is another of P.C. Wren's stories of the strange philosophy and comradeship of the men who formed the legion of the damned. It introduces the French Foreign Legion in Algeria, and in the tradition of Beau Geste and Beau Sabreur, is a tale of dramas enacted in the desert by men whom desperation has robbed of their inherited values, substituting a strange code of comradeship. The story is vivid, intimate, and stirring. It carries the imprint of truth, and could, indeed, be written only by one who, like its author, had himself lived the life of a Legionnaire.
