The recruitment of the Légion étrangère, over its 189 years of existence, has never ceased to evolve in response to numerous parameters that fiction does not glimpse or cannot reveal. The image of a charming and crafty adventurer, seeking redemption, wandering through sands and jungles at the whim of wars, is too fine a picture to withstand the filter of...
