My Life in the Foreign Legion by Prince Aage of Denmark

My kids got me this for Xmas; it’s been on my wish list FOREVER. Excellent. Prince Aage was in the Legion in the mid 1920s, during the Riff war, until he was invalided out, a good description of his time there, pretty darn exciting. Also unique in that most FL bios are of entry-level legionnaires; Aage came in an officer, so a different viewpoint as he pals around with Lyautey and them folks. Very good.
