Wasn't really sure which subforum to put this in, as it encompasses military, politics, history and survival. But to me, it's largely a survival story, so into the 'survival' forum it goes.
It's a story of a group of Irish soldiers in the Congo in the early 1960's, when Tsombe started really showing his butt. While I remember the overall congo nonsense back then, I'd never heard of this story; which is a shame. It's a very good story, right up with some of the best imo.
I started going into why it was such a good story here, but found I was giving away spoiler after spoiler, so I deleted a bunch of what I typed and will just leave it at this: the story shows what a tenacious group can do, it shows what a true scumbag will often do when someone tries to appease him, it shows the disloyal nature of a soulless bureaucracy (the UN), and it shows the evil that is inherent in an armed soulless bureaucracy.
