4.0 out of 5 stars Casca's Vietnam experience in the French Foreign Legion, November 30, 2007

This review is from: Casca: The Legionnaire (Casca #11) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having noticed previous unhelpful reviews, I decided to write a proper one about the book. Casca is recruited into the French Foreign Legion in the aftermath of the second worldwar - the first part of the story deals with Casca's escape from a shattered Berlin and is wonderfully written - and trains in Africa.

He is then shipped to Vietnam and is involved in the bitter war against the Viets fighting for independance. Gus Beidemann joins Casca and the two enjoy a few hilarious adventures before they are dropped into Dien Bien Phu in 1954 which saw the eclipse of France's Indochinese empire. The battle is well written and gives you some idea as to what went on in that terrible siege.
