Good luck with anything in English. French is where it's at and really the only way you're going to get what you want. "Bataillon Bigeard" by Erwan Bergot is a good place to start. It's on my bookshelf and I've yet to read it, but I have leafed through it.

Focusing on 1e RCP, 8e BPChoc, and GCMA for Indochine; 1e RCP, 11e BPChoc, 13e RDP, and 15e RTS/75e RIMa for Algérie.
