5.0 out of 5 stars Not the CNN Video!, May 21, 2000

By A Customer

One of the first reports on the Gulf War to widely disseminate the fact that the Patriot had no confirmed kills against SCUD missiles, this Frontline documentary is thorough and damning of the manner in which the war was carried out. I should note, however, that this is NOT produced by CNN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be mandatory for every classroom, October 11, 2002

By	"remo_934" (West St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This four-hour documentary should be a must for every educator from high school through a Master's program.
Very well balanced - doesn't seem to give a political "slant" in it's reporting. Looks for the truth in what happened.
Doesn't rely on any one source for information, but uses a multitude of mediums to tell the story - including Iraqi video.
I recommend this to EVERYONE who has an interest in the Gulf War!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true documentary, June 15, 2000

By	"jaapus" (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

In this video the makers try to shed some light on the gulf war. Not only based on the CNN footage that we have all seen so many times, but on information gathered from all other sources, like the BBC, home-videos and personal interviews. This makes the documentary a well-balanced one, that compelled and inpacted me more, than any other documentary on the gulf war did.
