    I just read this book and it is a brillant read. Anyone with an interest in military will love it. I can send it in email if anyone wants it. Its about an x ss officer in the Foreign Legion in Indochina. Constant pumping warfare as could only be told by a veteran. The ideology is dated but ask anyone who has read it and they will all say read it and post back. About 270 pages.

    Written by an ex SS-Freiw. Wallonien political commander Leon Degrelle?

    A bit of a Sci-Fi, but very good read indeed...

    Not written by suggested author, book very popular with soldiers serving and ex. My late father saw some real combat and his account of certain actions would be hotly debated bar the fact there were always others there to bear witness from canibalism to atrocious deaths..
