The Naked Soldier

Tony Sloane (Vision Paperbacks)
Following Tony Sloane’s life in the French Foreign Legion, The Naked Soldier is a cut above the normal military tales of Andy McNab et al. The extremes of training and life in Djibouti alone make this intriguing, but it could really do without Sloane feeling he needs to say how hard everyone in the Legion is every other sentence. Plus there are some fantastic typos, particularly his training in the Moroccan desserts. A decent, if lightweight read.
