This DVD covers the war from several different perspectives. You will see the video footage shot by the pilots as they dropped their bombs. This footage is brief, but it is relatively clear in most instances.

There is also coverage of the political side of the war. For instance there is fairly extensive coverage of the political confusion that led directly to the conflict. Also included are interviews with the men who were there, from the man in the field, to the top brass.

This DVD is fine but not all that... you can not take it as a documentary about political, strategical or historical events. Instead you take it as power show-off.

If you are after arms, planes, fighters and strategic weapons used in the war... this DVD covers most of it.

But if you want fully covered details about behind the scenes policies and in depth covered histroy, this DVD is not all that.

The "secrets of war series" offers a behind the battles perspective of war in the twentieth century. This video is one of eleven DVDs' in the Secrets of war series and I have found all informative and entertaining, "Including this one." The "secrets of war" presents the battles and events from the covert and intelligence point of view. The series in addition portrays the America positively.

I bought this dvd,its a good film for every person who likes to watch about the war in the gulf, since the war in the gulf was short,in some of the topics that you can see are the weapons like planes and tanks that were used in the war. This film also cover some major topic of the entire war. what amazed me was the M-1 abram tanks that cause destruction to the entire T-72 iraqi tanks,plus the topic about the F-117 stealth fighter and other spy planes that contribute to the victory of America against saddam!

Not the ususal footage on the Gulf War. Well done and presented. Relevant to anyone interested in this subject. Good footage and interviews.

Already restricted War between Iraq vs Kuwait, US vs Iraq had the
possibility of Battle between US and Iraq.
Formerly,Iran and US Supported Iraq had the battle.
Iraq became enemy in later with complicated political background.
this tlme,"Gulf War"started from overruned Kuwait with Tank and mechanized
Iraq Army ,US Attacked Iraq soldiers with overwhluming Air Strikes, M1A1
Abraham Tanks and many Tomahawk Missles and it brought immediate disintegrstions of All miltatary Actions. this limited "GULF War"
immediate recapture of Kuwait and withdrawal of Iraq Saddam Hussein
and immediately War stopped withought solying political problems.
It later become another Entire Battle of Iraq. !

Just a standard patriotic show about a superpower's weapons destroying a 3rd rate enemy which had already previously lost most of its military capability anyway after the 9 year war with Iran. There are plenty of documentaries like this on the History Channel, its hardly worth putting in your DVD collection.
