July 1960: The newly independent Congo is hit by the secession of its mineral rich-province Katanga, led by Mo???se Tshombe and backed by Belgium and Britain. June 1961: Dr Conor Cruise O'Brien arrives in Katanga as Special Representative of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskj???ld, his task (under a UN resolution) to arrest and repatriate the mercenaries and foreign interests propping up Tshombe.
