Originally published in Dutch language, Amsterdam, 1997. The book describes the author's experiences during three UN peace missions in the 1990: Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and highlights why such missions so often fail. Provides a chilling indictment of governments' ability to wash their hands of other countries problems by applying the 'blue rinse' of the UN peacekeeping operation.
