Excerpt from Under Two Flags, Vol. 2: A Story of the Household and the Desert
"Did I not say he would eat fire?"
"Pardieu! c'est un brave?"
"Rides like an Arab."
"Smokes like a Zouave."
"Cuts off a head with that back circular sweep, ah - h - h! magnificent!"
"And dances like an Aristocrat; not like a tipsy Spahis!"

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nuances of the French Army of Africa through the guise of a gossipy and mischievous vivandiere nicknamed Cigarette. From Orlà ansville to Constantine, from Philippeville to Algiers, the author, himself a veteran of the Crimean War, records the deeds of notorious commanding officers and enlisted men alike, setting their tales against the backdrop of colonial conquest, military duty, and the ever-present reality of warfare. This book, which blends precise observation with freewheeling adventure, provides a nuanced and indelible portrait of one of France's most storied military outposts during an era of upheaval and change.
