The Warrior's Rose

Rating:
Summary: Powerful story and very entertaining
Review: A friend gave me this book to read book and it is wonderful. It's written very colorfully in Tamas's own words and tells of his life preceding the Legion, his joining the French Foreign Legion, and his experiences of Legion life and his battles in Algeria. He describes, as a boy, leaving Hungary and entering war-torn Paris. His heartbreaks and his trials are difficult to relate to by modern day standards but yet his warrior spirit remained intact. His story includes his wild, boyish pranks that will make you laugh and cry. By the way, Tamas Weber is also one of the most respected Karate Masters in the world. Not only a highly decorated Legion hero but a ninth degree Karate master. This is his endearing story and a great read.
