 "Georges, Comte de Villebois-Mareuil, had in fact been the youngest Colonel in the French Army and had commanded its Foreign Legion in Algeria. Roy Macnab's book is the first in English to trace the complicated circumstances and motives that brought this dashing and romantic hero of French imperialism to fight and die in vain but valiantly, in action against the British in the Orange Free State."
