Ashes of Katanga: a United Nations with teeth?

We must keep in mind, that Dag Hammersjkold took the flight, which lead to his death, because the UN-forces in Katanga got their asses kicked. After what I heard about the UN-Forces in Kongo, they acted the most time like the Keystone-Cops.

The UN forces eventually overthrew Tshombe (in late 1963), after some failed campaigns along the way.
