I recently read some good English language books about the LE. I highly recommend Martin Windrow's "Our Friends Beneath the Sands: The French Foreign Legion in France's Colonial Conquests 1870-1935"

It is a really in depth history of LE campaigns at all levels (strategic, operational, tactical, etc) starting with the Paris Commune and ending with the pacification of Morocco.

Supposedly Douglas Porch's book on the French Foreign Legion up to 1962 is the definitive English language history, but it really only covers the campaigns at a strategic and occasionally operational level. Little to no tactical analysis.

My favorite unit of the LE is the 2e BEP. Last battalion to jump into Dien Bien Phu as a complete unit, destroyed in the subsequent fighting, reconstituted from the surviving depot staff and the 3e BEP, took part in the 1962 Putsch but didn't get purged.

 

[StreetGangsta]

Okay then. I have no idea what this is.

 

[KateHikes14]

For my legionaires? Bueno

One day, while Andy was filing his taxes, Woody got welfare. He could no longer help himself! He watched as Andy crunched the numbers in his fancy, advanced calculator. He approached Andy which startled him and made him drop his receipts everywhere on the floor and on Woody too. Being covered in his taxes made Woody even more ambitious to file his taxes!

Woody: "Mister Andy! I'm alive and I want to LEARN TO BE CASH SOLVENT!"

Andy: "Oh Woody! I always knew you were alive! I want to show you the ways of financial stability!"

Woody grabbed a bunch of pencils and graph paper and started making his portfolio.

Woody: "Oh my! It's a #2 Ticonderoga pencil! #2 Ticonderoga pencils are my favorite!"

Woody then stuffed his graphs into Andy's accordion folder. The other toys around the room watched intently as Woody stuck folder after folder into Andy's filing cabinet. Continuously making a flipping noise. The other toys also became so ambitious that they all gathered around Woody and Andy and began taking out mortgage sheets and started to crunch numbers all over them, and then they started to calculate.

Andy: "Oh my goodness, Woody! You are filing your taxes so well! Your calculations are stimulating my cerebral cortex! OH YES!"

All the other toys became enthused by this, and could not help themselves anymore! They took their credit reports and pushed them into Andy's filing cabinet. All of them wanted to put their reports in Andy's nice, stylish filing cabinet.

Andy: "No wait guys! My filing cabinet cannot hold this much! It is getting so full!"

All the toys continued filling the filing cabinet, and pretty much, it was beyond full, and broke from having its insides completely crammed. The mother came in and found Andy, completely worn out, with a dead calculator, and a HUGE increase in his investments in his stock portfolio.

You should read the book “Legionnaire” if you are interested in similar stuff. It is a non-fiction, first-hand account of a guy who randomly joins the FFL in the 1960s and fights in Algeria. Really gripping read and illuminates the internal culture of the organization quite well.
