The Pope's Legion
This book tells the story of the Papal Zouaves, a band of 20,000 Catholics who marched into Italy in the nineteenth century, summoned by the Pope to defend the Vatican City from attack. Motivated by wanderlust, duty and faith, volunteers came from many nations including France, Belgium, Spain, Ireland and Austria.
