Elite: The Spanish Legion 1920 - 2010

Before I start, yes I am aware that Osprey has already published a book on this topic, MAA 161'The Spanish Foregin Legion'. It is an excellent little book, a couple of illustration errors but good all the same.
However being published in 1985 it misses a number of events and recent deployments of the Legion. i.e Bosnia and Iraq. As well as the royal decree of 1986 after which the Legion ceased to accept foreignors. Then the recomencement of foreign enlisment (on a much more limited basis) in 2000's.
I'm sure Carlos Cabellero Jurado who appears to be the subject matter expert on all things Spanish at Osprey, could do such a title justice. It would not be the first time a subject has been rehashed in Osprey, i.e 'The Gurkas'.

I would like to see a refreshment of this topic, also with a book on Rif war, that I think would be a good addition on osprey collection.
