This thread makes it hard to read some general history books. For example, in the recent Osprey book on mercenaries: "On 30 June 1960 the Belgian Congo celebrated independence following 52 years of colonial rule. Within days there was turmoil, with President Joseph Kasa- Vubu and Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba unable to control the vast nation’s many diverse tribes. An uprising within the ranks of the Force Publique (soon to be renamed the Congolese National Army – l’Armée Nationale Congolaise, ANC) led to Belgian military intervention, with mutineers disarmed and disbanded. However, in the mineral-rich south-eastern province of Katanga, troops loyal to the regional leader Moïse Tshombe were retained as his own army – la Gendarmerie Katangaise. On 11 July, as European residents were subjected to an increasing wave of violence throughout the Congo, Tshombe proclaimed the secession of Katanga." "Two weeks after independence, the first troops of a United Nations peacekeeping force (ONUC) began to arrive, preparatory to taking over from departing Belgian forces. Soon afterwards, South Kasai was also declared an autonomous state by its provincial leader, Albert Kalonji. Disappointed by the ineffectiveness of the UN, Lumumba sought to resolve matters by turning to Russia for aid. Soon, his forces were sufficiently equipped to overrun Kasai, but an attempt to reclaim neighbouring Katanga failed." "Tshombe faced immediate threats not just from the Congolese central government in Léopoldville (Kinshasa) and the UN, but also from the Baluba, government in Léopoldville (Kinshasa) and the UN, but also from the Baluba, his tribal and political rivals in northern Katanga. His solution was to bolster his forces with white mercenaries – a move that was welcomed by Katanga’s powerful Belgian-operated mining industry and resident European community." "On 14 September 1960, discord within the Léopoldville government led to the ANC chief of staff, Col Joseph Désiré Mobutu, taking control in a bloodless coup, and expelling Lumumba’s Soviet and Communist-bloc advisers. Lumumba would be assassinated in captivity a few months later. In response, Lumumbists under Antoine Gizenga formed a rival government in Stanleyville (Kisangani) in the north-eastern Orientale Province." "In February 1961, Kasa-Vubu was re-appointed as president, and in August the now-MajGen Mobutu replaced interim premier Joseph Iléo with Cyrille Adoula. Before long, the rival regimes in Léopoldville and Stanleyville were reconciled by means of a division of spoils, with key posts assigned to Gizenga and his political ally Christophe Gbenye. Unsurprisingly, such an arrangement did not sit easily with Moïse Tshombe." "By this time, 500 or more Belgian, French and English-speaking mercenaries were employed in Katanga, as well as Belgian officers seconded on contract to the Gendarmerie. At the end of August 1961 the UN conducted an operation to rid the Gendarmerie of foreign irregular and regular military personnel. Several hundred were expelled (although many would return and resume their activities). On 13 September, UN troops seized control of key points throughout Katanga. The next day, a combined mercenary/ Katangese force responded with the first in a series of assaults, against a UN company of Irish troops (A Coy, 35th Bn) at Jadotville. The attacking forces suffered heavy losses over several days, but the garrison was eventually forced to surrender (none had been killed, and the prisoners were exchanged a month later)." "There followed a brief lull until 5 December 1961. Mercenaries captured by the UN were still being deported, but recruiting continued. This volatile situation continued for another year, before the UN demanded an end to Katanga’s secession. When the ultimatum was rejected, UN troops went on the offensive. Tshombe’s mercenaries and several thousand Katangese gendarmes were forced to withdraw across the southern border into the Portuguese colony of Angola. (The mercenaries included a French veteran of the Navy and colonial police who called himself Bob Denard, leading a small 1er Choc assault unit.) In mid- January 1963, Tshombe finally conceded defeat and went into exile; Katanga was reintegrated as a province of the Congo, and for a while enjoyed a period of relative calm." It's so weird that Belgium had to intervene and that the mineral rich province succeeded. This is a book by one of the major military history presses, in 2022, arguing that the Congo had "too many diverse tribes", and that Lumumba basically brought the downfall of his country on himself by being a communist. I don't even know how to process the characterization of Rhodesia: "In July 1964 a unit of ZANU’s military wing, the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA), ambushed a white family in their car and murdered Petrus Oberholzer, in the first act of terrorism in Rhodesia since the 1890s. While it was an isolated case, the killing had a profound effect on the country’s close-knit white community. Since the British Labour government of Harold Wilson was unsupportive, on 11 November 1965 Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith severed ties with Britain by a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI). Five months later, on 28 April 1966, security forces killed seven ZANLA insurgents in a skirmish that would mark, for ZANU, the beginning of Chimurenga – their war of liberation."

In contrast, a disproportionate number of insurgents were killed, wounded or captured, particularly during major Rhodesian cross-border strikes" "In 1979 fighting intensified as the war entered its final phase, seeing an increasing number of cross-border operations. At the same time, the future of what had already been renamed Zimbabwe Rhodesia was being decided at the Lancaster House talks in London. On 21 December 1979 a ceasefire was announced, heralding the rise to power of Robert Mugabe and the beginning of the end for yet another decolonized African nation." This is pretty eye popping for a publisher that's usually on the ball, so I'm curious what the role of the editors was here. nvm found the reason the book is batshit insane: Also explains why photos are credited "private collection" instead of to national archives or museums.

reading about US biowarfare in Korea and how lazy you can be running defense for empire: https://jeff-kaye.medium.com/secret-plan-revealed-cia-told-to-destroy-those-supporting-communist-germ-warfare-myth-f466dfb071bequote:For instance, Leitenberg claims that in March 1953, the Soviet leadership discovered the truth about China and North Korea’s attempt to falsify two sites of biological weapons attack, supposedly achieved with the connivance of Soviet officials then assigned in North Korea. As a result, by April 1953, the Soviets had pulled back from accusations of U.S. use of biological agents. China and North Korea, too, were said to have ended their propaganda about U.S. germ warfare about the same time. you know people who want to believe you will never check if you're lying to them, and even those who don't trust you probably won't think that you'd lie so blatantly about something so easily disproved.

I feel pretty smart for clocking Leitenberg on one of his other misdirections though, where he said that the plague strains used in Korea were of local extraction and therefore couldn't be US sourced. He wants you to picture hypothetical American scientists cooking up germs in a lab over here, but Japan's Unit 731 used locally cultivated strains in their work during WWII in Manchuria and we got their research afterwards - we were either using the exact same samples they'd cultivated or we simply recreated their research. This is also proof to me that Leitenberg knows he's lying to protect empire because his claim superficially makes sense but is untenable in the specifics which he should most definitely know. He's withholding information to deceive the plebs.
