The Iraq War

THE HISTORY CHANNEL examines the key military and political decisions that have determined the course of the Iraq war, from President Bush’s “Axis of Evil” declaration through negotiation, invasion, “Mission Accomplished,” and beyond. Experts analyze the design of the war plan and the new technology used in combat, such as the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, and Stryker combat vehicles. In addition, frontline footage illuminates key events of the war, including the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch and the successful captures of the critical Karbala Gap and Baghdad Airport.

Featuring interviews with White House insiders and photographs from embedded journalists, THE IRAQ WAR paints a compelling picture of one of America’s most controversial wars.
