I’ve been waiting for this book for about a year and I finally see that it has been released. It was written by Philip Leibfried and is published by Bear Manor Media and you can order the book directly from their web page. (Link) Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down–the entries on each movie was like finally finding the answers to several difficult brain teasers or puzzles. It’s very well researched and has loads of information on just what appears to be every Foreign Legion movie ever made. It is truly a one of a kind book and is an absolute “must have” for my collection. I’ll be working the internet this weekend looking for someone that might be selling some of these movies. (BTW there are lots of other interesting books at Bear Manor.
The following is the Table of Contents:

NOTE: I initially downloaded the Kindle version but found that many of the pictures in this format were upside down (I let Bear Manor know and hopefully they can upload a new one). I’m assuming the hard copy book is better.
