Under Two Flags: A Story of the Household and the Desert (Oxford Popular Fiction)
This old time thriller is so intensely melodramatic that one overlooks the impossible events related. This story moves one to tears, as its author designed it should. This book came out in 1867. Despite its old-fashioned melodrama if you give this book a chance I think you will be glad you read it. It is an outstanding type of its genre. --By SchmergulsThis is a "must read" book. I am suprised that it appears to be relatively unkown. It is the precursor to all of the French Foreign Legion novels and movies that are so much more known today. All I can say is get it, read it and you will not be disappointed. --By JRB Sharpe Fan
