Book excerpt: “A pleasure to read and nearly impossible to put down.” –Army Times “Embodies an experience that many have enjoyed in fantasy–few in reality.” –The Washington Post The French Foreign Legion–mysterious, romantic, deadly–is filled with men of dubious character, and hardly the place for a proper Englishman just nineteen years of age. Yet in 1960, Simon Murray traveled alone to Paris, Marseilles, and ultimately Algeria to fulfill the toughest contract of his life: a five-year stint in the Legion. Along the way, he kept a diary. Legionnaire is a compelling, firsthand account of Murray’s experience with this legendary band of soldiers. This gripping journal offers stark evidence that the Legion’s reputation for pushing men to their breaking points and beyond is well deserved. In the fierce, sun-baked North African desert, strong men cracked under brutal officers, merciless training methods, and barbarous punishments. Yet Murray survived, even thrived. For he shared one trait with these hard men from all nations and backgrounds: a determination never to surrender. “The drama, excitement, and color of a good guts-and-glory thriller.” –Dr. Henry Kissinger

Download or read book P C WREN Adventure Novels Tales from the Foreign Legion written by P. C. Wren and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 1267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941) was an English writer, mostly of adventure fiction. His novels and short stories mostly deal with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.

Wren's literary style is a blend of adventure, drama, and romance, appealing to readers who enjoy historical fiction and military narratives. P. C. Wren, a former British officer, drew upon his own experiences in the military to craft his gripping tales of courage and loyalty. His deep understanding of the human spirit shines through in his nuanced characterizations and realistic portrayals of life in the Foreign Legion. Wren's background adds a layer of authenticity to his narratives, lending them credibility and emotional depth. I highly recommend The Collected Works of P. C. Wren to readers who appreciate well-crafted historical fiction and thrilling adventure stories. Wren's mastery of storytelling and his unique perspective as a former soldier make this anthology a must-read for fans of military literature and classic novels.
