This is something that I would like to read up on too.

The number one book on Amazon is below, but no reviews. Any other thoughts?

How would you lads rate the army's performance in the Congo?

There were two significant reverses (Niemba and Jadotville) but also some successes (battle of the Tunnel, seizing Gend HQ).

A mixed bag?
