- Summary:
- The film examines the mystery behind the most exotic soldiers to fight in the Civil War, the Zouaves. Dashing soldiers dressed in North African costumes copied from the French, Zouaves personified the old-fashioned notion of war as a grand adventure. Trained in acrobatic feats and dashing drills, they were popularly regarded as the embodiment of heroism and gallantry in war. Cynics, however, derided them as flashy showmen, inadequately trained in warfare. Who was right?
