This gripping narrative recounts the experiences of Sergeant Morlae as he serves in the French Foreign Legion during World War I, particularly focusing on the harrowing realities of battle and the diverse backgrounds of the men in the Legion. The story centers on camaraderie among soldiers, the brutality of warfare, and Morlae's pride in leading a unit composed of misfits and adventurers who are willing to risk everything for France. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sergeant Morlae and provides insight into the men of his regiment as they prepare for a significant battle in Champagne in August 1915.
