JEAN LARTÉGUYThe CenturionsTRANSLATED BY XAN FIELDING • FOREWORD BY ROBERT D. KAPLAN

As relevant today as it was half a century ago, The Centurions is a gripping military adventure, an extended symposium on waging war in a new global order, and an es-sential investigation of the ethics of counterinsurgency. “I first studied Lartéguy’s stunning reflection of modern war in 1974 at West Point. My notes served as a cautionary primer for the challenges I’d later see emerge time and again. The lands, languages, uniforms, and personalities were different—but the themes and emotions were constant.”—General Stanley McChrystal"The depth of the principals and the author’s sure sense of their complex torment bring the soldiers’ world vibrantly to life...The Centurions rewards fast, consumptive reading as well as deeper engagement, offering provocative insights into military lead-ership and the generational consequences of empty policy.”—The Wall Street JournalPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 544 PP. • 978-0-14-310744-6 • $18.00
