Just watched a good film, a movie on Netflix, about the Siege of Jadotville, where an Irish Company of UN Peace Keepers held out against improbable odds for six days in 1961against a large adversary force of French Mercs and African troops in the Congo. Once they ran out of ammo, they surrendered, and were held captive for a month before being released. Based on a true story, what little I can find of the history the movie follows the historical narrative.

Also a sad story on UN politics and bureaucracy, but there won't be any surprises there.
