The War Collection: War In Iraq (2003) DVD
 
On the night of March 19th-20th, 2003, two U.S. F-177A Stealth Fighters launched a surprise attack on a secret location in Baghdad where Saddam Hussein was believed to be in a meeting with senior staff. The Iraq War had begun. 300,000 soldiers, poised on the borders with Iraq, moved with meticulous precision. British forces encircled Basra while American armoured units made a lightning dash for the ultimate prize Baghdad itself. Using valuable lessons learned in the 1991 Gulf War, Coalition forces decimated Saddams military units in conventional fights but there were still other, sometimes bitter, lessons to be learned. Sandstorms brought the armoured columns to a grinding halt, guerrilla fighters stalked the stretched supply lines, suicide bombers mingled with fleeing refugees and the much vaunted Apache helicopter proved terrifyingly vulnerable to the humble AK-47. Featuring frontline combat footage from both British and American forces, WAR IN IRAQ provides a fast-paced overview of the war to victory in Baghdad, as well as detailed coverage of the many different Coalition aircraft, units, tanks and ships deployed in the war.
