The Legionnaire — Barry Sadler

Casca Longinus. Cursed by Christ on Golgotha. Condemned to outlive the ages and wander the globe a constant soldier. Forever fighting, surviving, waiting for Him to return.

Dien Bien Phu. It was to be France's most glorious victory in the Indo-China War. Eleven thousand courageous Legionnaires were flown into the valley, totally unaware that fifty thousand Viet Minh with heavy cannons were waiting in the hills above them. But though Intelligence Officer Nguyen Thich knew he would lead his Communist forces to victory, only the death of Casca (alias Carl Langers) could put his soul to rest ... permanently.
