Synopsis

This volume details the various UN peace keeping operations around the globe from 1948–94.

From Africa (Namibia and Somalia), South America (El Salvador) and the Middle East (Cyprus, Sinai, Golan Heights, Lebanon and Kuwait) to East Asia (Cambodia and Korea) and Europe (Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia), UN forces have been deployed all around the globe. In addition two major wars have been fought under the banner of the United Nations – The Korean War and the Gulf War. A huge number of nations have contributed troops to these various efforts, with the result that the UN forces are extremely varied.

The vast variety uniforms and insignia are illustrated in twelve full page colour plates.
