Should be mandatory for every classroom
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!

A true documentary
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.

Not the CNN Video!
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.

Well documented and put together. Provides a good overview.
This documentry is the quality you would expect for something put together by CNN. It provides a good overview of the war from prewar to post war. However, the lack of combat film footage is odd considering CNN's resources and coverage of the war.
