The UN’s defeat in this first part of the Congo crisis was recently and fraudulently reinterpreted in the Irish movie The Siege of Jadotville.

In the film, the mercenaries are portrayed as using the cover of an humanitarian ceasefire to pickup the wounded on the field to launch a perfidious attack on the UN base. Bizarrely enough, they are otherwise portrayed somewhat positively and O'Brien is arguably portrayed most negatively of all. I suppose that's a good example of how good Leftie propaganda works.
