In 1975, a French mercenary landed in the Comoros, a chain of small islands off East Africa, and decided he was going to run the place.
Bob Denard staged four coups, converted to Islam, built a farm, and controlled the country from the shadows for over a decade.
It was a story of Cold War deals, shifting loyalties, and one last coup that ended his run.
