French Foreign Legion for Beginners
A handbook for potential candidates of the Légion étrangère
This book is the perfect guide for anyone interested in joining the French Foreign Legion. Do you meet the entry requirements? What needs special attention? Will you be able to get out of the contract? Do you have to speak French? How fit do you really have to be? Are tattoos or glasses a problem? How can I prepare physically, etc.? All the answers meet the latest standards. - I advise no one to join the French Foreign Legion on the assumption of glamour or glory - the Author says: Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. (William Jennings Bryan).
