Others died fighting in the city of Elizabethville, while over 150 were bombed during the siege, where miraculously, not one died. Fifty years on, those who fought and survived- the first Irishmen to serve as UN peacekeepers overseas- reveal the stories behind the events that changed their lives forever. This programme looks at the impact of their mission on the Irish military history, Irish politics, and the lives of the Congo veterans - to present day. Written by Anonymous See less
