Description: | Select Guide Rating A fully illustrated study of the colorful regiments raised for France''s late 19th-century colonial wars in Africa and Vietnam, which will appeal to modelers, wargamers, and students of late 19th-century colonial warfare. France''s colonial wars in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia were very largely fought by an organization completely separate from both the home-defense Metropolitan Army and the Armée d''Afrique in Algeria. The Naval Troops (Troupes de la Marine) were volunteers, and earned a reputation for greater toughness and hardiness than the conscripted Metropolitan Army. |
