The book delves into the complex history of United Nations peacekeeping missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo since its independence in 1960. It highlights the challenges faced during the first mission amid the Congolese crisis, including the mandate to protect against external threats and the significant loss of peacekeepers, including the assassination of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld. The analysis extends to the ongoing geopolitical implications of subsequent missions, ONUC, MONUC, and MONUSCO, in addressing the country's crises.
