The Praetorians by Jean Larteguy

"History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake." - James Joyce, Ulysses

The Praetorians is the final book in a trilogy which includes The Mercenaries, and one of the classics of war fiction, The Centurions.

In The Praetorians, Larteguy's heroes are at the final stage of their "development" - where direct political action is seen as the inevitable consequence of the creation of a revolutionary field army.

Disillusioned with the failures and perceived betrayals of their political leaders, these men of action decide it is time to seize the day.

According to The New York Times:
"...we are shown at close quarters, the desperation of a band of brave men betrayed by their leaders. We can follow the growth of the network of machinations and political conspiracies that undermined the France of the Fourth Republic. We can share the confusion of the instigators of the Algiers uprising of May 13,1958, when they see the way events at the Forum are turning."

Historical fiction at its best.
