Caught between the lines a Legionnaire is captured by the "Wild Men of No-Man's Land", deserters from both sides living in the hell of mud and blood during W.W.1. On the deadly R.C 4. in Indochina a Legionnaire fights to the bitter end against the Viet Minh. A Medic fights for survival at the bloody battle of Dien Bien Phu. In the desert heat Legionnaires battle marauding Berber tribesmen. In the Western desert during W.W.2. Legionnaires fight against innumerable odds to halt the Axis advance. From the Crimea to Kolwezi and Sarajevo I have written about the battles of the Legion, many of the names used are actual Legionnaires I had the honour of serving with.
