TARZAN AND THE FOREIGN LEGION
The novel is set during World War II. The term foreign legion does not refer to the French Foreign Legion, but is the name given in the book to a small international force (including Tarzan) fighting the Japanese. While serving in the R.A.F. under his civilian name of John Clayton, Tarzan is shot down over the island of Sumatra in the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies. He uses his jungle survival skills to save his comrades in arms, and they fight the Japanese while seeking escape from enemy territory.
