Has anyone read this book, 'Devil's Guard' by George Robert Elford?
It's apparently about a former SS soldier who joined the French Foreign Legion after WW2 and went on to fight in Indochina. The reason I'm wondering why it's so special is because Amazon want £46.18p for a paperback copy of it!
I checked it out on Google and found other forums recommending it and discussing it, whether or not it was fact or fiction, etc. From what I can establish, it seems to be a novel, perhaps based on fact, or after the fashion of Sven Hassel.
Whatever, I have never paid anything like that amount for a paperback, no matter how good and I'm not likely to either!
PS - I see that the same author has also written 'Devil's Guard II', which kind of confirms it's a novel, doesn't it?
