Much has been written about the Legion. Rarely about the legionnaire himself — that anonymous foreigner who made its greatness and its glory. By seeking out who he once was and who he is today. By following him, sometimes through his own accounts, in the bordjs, the bivouacs and the outposts where he lived, from Formosa to Morocco and from the snows of Norway to the fringes of the Sahara. And by finding him always true to himself — from Camerone to Tuyên-Quang, from Kolwezi to Sarajevo. By asking what makes up the indestructible cement that binds these men together, men whom everything should keep apart. To salute their virtues without overlooking their weaknesses, to try to understand how, from a rebel or a man without roots, the Legion can forge a Man and sometimes a Hero. To discover, finally, the traditions he himself shaped and piously preserved. To ensure the Foreign Legion the lasting continuity of its ethos.
