Viva la Muerte ! : brief history of the Spanish Foreign Legion / Graham Wilson.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce the audience to this little known, odd, even bizarre fighting force, with a short but bloody history and a very special place in modern Spanish history. The Spanish Foreign Legion, officially the "Tercio de Extranjeros " (Regiment of Foreigners) but never referred to by its members, serving and former, as anything other than "la Legion de Extranjeros " or simply "la Legion ".
