Episode Details

What comes to mind when you think of the French Foreign Legion? Most likely men struggling through the desert in heavy blue coats and white peaked caps. Men who joined up after a lifetime of crime, fighting valiantly, then leaving the Legion to become tough, faceless mercenaries trading on their background, or else dying in the mud of Dien Bien Phu as the last choppers leave for La Belle France. 
All is not what it seems.
Join Keith as he traces the Legion and its origins, as he tries to get behind the psychology of the men who arguably join the most romantically charged battle force that the world has ever seen.
