"If blue-helmeted U.N. peacekeepers show up in your town or village, and offer to protect you, run." The words of Andrew Thomson, a doctor with the United Nations whose job was to dig up the bodies from mass graves after the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia. Thomson and two of his then-colleagues, Kenneth Cain and Heidi Postlewait, are co-authors of a new book, "Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures." All three worked on the frontlines of U.N. peacekeeping operations in the 1990s, and have written what they call a true story from hell on earth.
