內容簡介: |
Since 1831, the French Foreign Legion has been a renowned
fighting force. It gives men a new lease on life-and a chance to
test their physical and mental limits. In 1999, that''s just what
American Jaime Salazar was looking for.
The son of underpaid Mexican immigrants, Jaime earned a degree in
mechanical engineering from Purdue. But at twenty-three, he was
disillusioned with the corporate fast track. So he became an
outcast American in a hard-bitten group of recruits-men on the run
from their pasts, men without hope: He joined the French Foreign
Legion.
From the Legion''s notoriously brutal training to Salazar''s
fierce competitiveness, ultimate disillusionment and dramatic
desertion, Legion of the Lost is a compelling, firsthand
account of today''s French Foreign Legion that will dispel myths
while adding to the legend of the finest trained army of warriors
the world has ever known.
