Why read it?
1 author picked Mouthful of Rocks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was a very compelling read and resonated with me, as the author was a professional and idealist who was drawn into a war that he was not in control of. His casual and all matter of fact style of writing made it a pleasure to read, while still hitting home with his underlying theme. Jennings is an Englishman with few prospects for a prosperous future so he throws his lot in with a motley bunch of foreigners in the service of france. He writes with hilarity and frankness that I was immediately drawn to.
From Jaime's list on the French Foreign Legion from someone who joined.
