"In der Fremdenlegion" wurde 1909 von dem deutsch-amerikanischen Autor Erwin Rosen veröffentlicht. In dem Buch verarbeitet er seine Erfahrungen in der französischen Fremdenlegion von seinem Eintritt im Oktober 1905 bis zu seiner Desertation irgendwann im Jahr 1906.

In this second installment of James Rosen’s masterful biography—hailed as “monumental,” “ground-breaking,” and “definitive”—Antonin Scalia brings his intellectual genius, literary gifts, and wit to the staid corridors of the Supreme Court. Championing originalism—the idea that the Constitution and statutes should be interpreted according to the original meaning these texts carried when they were enacted, without being expanded or twisted by activist judges—Scalia changed forever the way the law is crafted in Congress, argued before the bench, and adjudicated by our courts.
