Robert Girardi, author of among others Madeline's Ghost and The Pirate's Daughter, has another one out now, titled Gorgeous East, about, of all things you don't hear about anymore, the French Foreign Legion. A good read, like most of his. I always remember both Beau Geste and The Last Remake of Beau Geste. Also, the library at one time had a copy of Morocco on VHS, had Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich in it.
