Tarzan and the Foreign Legion

More about the book

This is one of the last books in the Tarzan series, written during World War II. Its depiction of the Japanese, is racist at best, but those were the times. What is interesting is that there is a strong feminist element to the story, which is hardly representative of the times it was written in. There is not only adventure, but a good deal of humor here as well. Despite the racist tone, and that is only directed at the enemy of the day, it is one of the better Tarzan books.
