The Praetorians by Jean Lartéguy

Robert’s first review of the year

really liked it
It's very well written and I'm sure that I don't know enough about the situation there then to fully appreciate the novel. I imagine that one better versed or informed about the events of that time and place in history would give it five stars. ...more
