The Mad and the Brave: The Untold Story of Ukraine’s Foreign Legion by Colin Freeman, 2025

'Elegant and terrifying, the story of those who gave up life in the West for Ukraine's frontlines – some to save democracy, some to save themselves.'

In its original pulp appearance, this was captioned "Citizens who are wise keep their wives and daughters off the streets when the love-starved Legionnaires come to town!"

Me, I would think that wise exercise of citizenship would involve doing something to keep those horny Legionnaires out of your town!
