Sands of Sahara by Robert Carse contains three novelettes of the French Foreign Legion. From the Atlas mountains to the Sahara desert to the Syrian desert, the men of the French Foreign Legion fight for their honor and the honor of France.

Soldier’s Fortune (1930) – A Bright Little Hell Burns in the Syrian Desert When the Druse Tribemen Capture a Fighting Legionaire.

Recall to Arms (1940) – In a Riff hill-town Jean Hubert, Legionnaire, learned that men who fight only for their peace live happily. But the Legion trumpets were loud in his memory; and stronger than himself was the summons to a doubtful glory.

Sands of Sahara (1941) – These ancient and terrible sands have always been a battle-ground; and they are today. But they are, too, the last outpost of France’s liberty; shifting, they make unconquered land—where two Frenchmen, determined to prove their different kinds of courage, can find glory.

Robert Carse (1902-1971) was first published around 1928 and most frequently published in Argosy Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post. He was a prolific writer of French Foreign Legion stories as well as swashbuckling pirate stories.
