Sex and drugs expose among UN peacekeepers

http://www.dazereader.com/24000377.htm Sex, drugs and UN peacekeeping.

Three United Nations fieldworkers are publishing details of sex, drugs and corruption inside UN missions despite an attempt to block their book.

Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures: A True Story from Hell on Earth chronicles the experiences of a doctor, a human rights official and a secretary in UN operations in Cambodia, Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, Liberia and Bosnia. [...]

The book takes its title from an episode in Somalia in which Heidi Postlewait, an American secretary, seeks consolation with a local interpreter after a sniper attack. "I can feel this pounding inside me and I can't wait. It has to be right now, not in 10 minutes, not five. Now," she wrote. "An emergency. Emergency sex."

Ms Postlewait's sexual exploits in various battle zones add spice to the book. At one point, the divorced former New York social worker has sex with a soldier on a water bladder at their Mogadishu base.

"After, we lay back naked, sweat drying, smoking cigarettes. Nice," she writes. "Then I spotted an observation tower not 50ft (15m) away, where two soldiers with night-vision goggles were peeping down at us ... I think they set me up."
