The 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion. The "13th". A legend. The regiment of all victories — those of Narvik and Free France, from Bir Hakeim to Colmar. Then came Indochina and Algeria. The regiment was twenty years old, twenty years of war. And then Djibouti: a patch of "French" soil on the Horn of Africa, with its train of all-round...

€16.12 €32.23
Beyond the honours and commemorations, let us remember what the Maquis were… Who were their leaders? Why were young Frenchmen driven to resist by the compulsion of an unacceptable reality, without having fought as free men? The refusal of the STO for some, of the Occupation for others, made them outlaws in the eyes of the Vichy authorities, pushing them...

Crécy, Poitiers, Agincourt… the history of the Hundred Years' War as it is taught is punctuated solely by great land battles, chevauchées across France, and sieges of towns and fortresses. Reading these accounts, one would never imagine that this long conflict was also a naval war — that squadrons clashed at sea, that numerous merchant vessels were sunk...
