Produktbeschreibung

The remote desert outpost, manned by rugged and desperate legionnaires, surrounded by hordes of camel borne tribesmen has become something of an iconic image since PC Wren published Beau Geste in 1926. The last stand of a beleaguered garrison has resulted in many Hollywood films and books of similar genre.
