Ebook: UN Forces 1948-94

This volume details the various UN peace keeping operations around the globe from 1948-94, which have seen UN forces deployed in almost every area of the world – Africa (Namibia and Somalia), South America (El Salvador), the Middle East (Cyprus, Sinai, Golan Heights, Lebanon and Kuwait), the Far East (Cambodia and Korea) and Europe (Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia). More often than not these have been far from peaceful roles. In addition two major wars have been fought under the banner of the United Nations. Robert Pitta's text not only covers their history, but also the uniforms and insignia of these forces.
