Review title: Repetitive Romp
Product review: I am intrigued that so many believe this to be nonfiction. It is incredibly campy and does not stand up to any real historical scrutiny. I concede that veterans of World War Two would have found themselves in the French Foreign Legion and I am confident that a few were from the Axis powers. And, yes, I believe there would be Waffen SS amongst them. But I have never heard of a full battalion raised for the fight in Indo China (Vietnam). The best part of this book were the first few chapters that dealt with the very last days of the WW2. The collapse of Nazi Germany continues to fascinate. When the action moves to Asia, it becomes repetitive and the author loses an opportunity to develop the characters. Instead it functions as an introductory primer to asymmetrical warfare (and a very brutal version of it). It reminded me of those Sven Hassel novels I read in the late 70's (with SS in the last name called out on the sensational covers).Interesting but strange overall.
