Episode 1D-Day: Fallujah60 min
By the fall of 2004, Fallujah, Iraq had become a viper pit. Over the previous six months, the once holy city had become the center of gravity for the Iraqi insurgency. Terrorists and radicals from across the Muslim world congregated there to resist the US occupation. Many came to martyr themselves and to take as many coalition troops with them as possible.
Episode 2Guadalcanal60 min
The extra-ordinary stories of several Marines who defended Guadalcanal from seemingly overwhelming Japanese attacks are re-enacted.
Episode 3Wild West60 min
Western shootouts were messy, drunken, and deadly affairs. The vision of two gunslingers meeting in the street at high noon is pure myth. Shootouts were typically up-close and personal. They involved lawmen against outlaws, outlaws against outlaws, and sometimes lawmen against lawmen.
