5星。
看標題以為是類似Where They Lay的挖掘紀實,其實內容比較偏向解說剛果危機的背景脈絡,以及愛爾蘭聯軍第35營在卡坦加的行動記錄和莫梭行動後嚴重惡化的地方情勢。雖然這樣簡介感覺這本書好像很硬,但作者敘事清晰,還會適時引用老兵提供的第一手資料,因此讀起來一點都不枯燥,還很適合搭配Declan Power的Siege of Jadotville一起看,進一步了解A連隊被圍攻期間,卡坦加其它地方的愛爾蘭部隊發生什麼事。
個人認為最精彩的部分是作者用現有調查資料,去推演年僅18歲的裝甲兵Pat Mullins人生最後的軌跡,超級感人!

Picked this book up in a bookshop in Portrush. Very informative about Irish troops in the Congo in the 60s. Plus a very interesting story and search for Patrick Mullins.
