Under the command of LtCol Mill n Astray and Comandante Francisco Franco, the Spanish Foreign Legion developed into a formidable force, led by Astray's belief that 'to die in combat is the greatest honour.' This book examines the main campaigns in which the Legion participated, from Melilla in 1921-23 until its withdrawal from the Sahara in 1976. A wealth of contemporary photographs and colour plates detail the uniforms and insignia of the Spanish Foreign Legion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087725912215,"sku":"9780850455717","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780850455717.webp?v=1767640814","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-spanish-foreign-legion-9780850455717","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
