In this episode, we return to the story of the French Army and examined the history of France's colonial troops, how they were raised, what made them unique, and they're often overlooked experiences within the wider French military. We're joined by special guest James Taub, French Army expert, who brings new insights into the role these men played and the controversial legacies that they sometimes left behind.
