A good buy.......2006-11-10

As a retired military officer and lifelong student of history, I like this look at these wars - it's useful to ID common themes and also unique aspects of each conflict.

This dvd was very helpful to me.......2005-02-17

I am familiar with World War II history, the Israeli Arab Wars, and recent American combat, but do not consider myself an expert on any of these areas. I was very pleased with this dvd with all of its detailed information (most particularly with its coverage of El Alamein 1942 which I enjoyed the most due to its interviews of both German and British veterans from the German English desert war itself) on the following battles: Gulf War 1991, Six Day War 1967, and The Battle of El Alamein 1942. For anyone wanting to learn a great deal about some major decisive battles in world history (particularly El Alamein in World War II) I would recommend this dvd heartily. It would work well as a class resource or as a personal primer on these key battles in history.

For those of you that love history, its a DVD set you must have. The documentaries do not show (or talk about) every event that took place during the wars documented in the DVDs. But it is a good price for the quality, and is yet another interesting perspective from commentators who spoke about the wars in these DVDs.

Product Description

''Make Peace or Die: The First Days of War in Iraq with 1st Battalion 5th Marines'' is a boots-on-the-ground account of the treacherous journey from the oilfields of Kuwait to Saddam Hussein's palace in Baghdad at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. For three weeks as a lead element charging 300 miles to the Iraqi capital, 1/5 rages across the desert into the full range of human emotion and beyond the extremes of human experience. Footage from embedded reporters, Department of Defense archives, digital images from individual Marines, and interviews conducted by a former member of 1/5 in the summer of 2003 provide a rare glimpse into the souls of America's warriors. From the first full-scale battle at Saddam Canal to dealing with the fog of war at a roadblock on the streets of Baghdad, we witness in these men the essence of conflict, both personal and professional, as seen through the ages. Along the way, 1/5 suffers the first American combat casualty of the war and, in the blink of an eye, forty days and nights of tedious desert living is instantly replaced with an inescapable new reality. This feature documentary serves as both an intensely personal oral history and a chilling snapshot of events that would give way to the future in Iraq.

This DVD is defective........2007-02-06

I bought three different, new DVDs and it does not have "Make Peace or Die" on it. It has a Marilyn Monroe documentary. Very strange.

I pointed this out to Amazon and did not get any answer. Too bad because I would really like to see "Make Peace or Die".

Indifferent Documentary For Teenagers Wanting To Play Army.......2006-02-11

Beautifully packaged but indifferent as historical documentary, this 8 disk collection is mostly footage of sexy aircraft taking off from or landing on carriers, and aging Iraqi tanks burning after missile hits; each repetitiously replayed from one disk to the next beneath an overlay of upbeat music usually reserved for corporate training films and porn movies.

A map here and there give broad overall feel for strategy in a war which the producers did not see fit to show reasons for fighting -- but the selection of material for this set demonstrate an interest less with the Gulf War as an historical moment, and more with amaze-your-friends tricks of 1990s military weaponry. Despite its title, much of the collection isn't even about the Gulf War.

As an example, one disk in the set spends much of its time inexplicably describing South African armored cars used against Angola. Another disk is devoted, almost in its entirety, to developments in Russian armored vehicles four years after the end of the Gulf War at what appears to be a 1995 trade show for international arms merchants. A third disk is a fast paced collection of clips of US military inventory of the late 90s, almost ten years after the Gulf War.
This is much like selling an 8 disk DVD set entitled "World War II", and using 1/3 of the material to document ordinance introduced during the Korean War.

Given the lack of historical facts, the emphasis on exploding bunkers (one of which I saw repeated nine times before I stopped counting), and the misplaced timeframe of so much of the material, this set compares less to say, "Vietnam A Television History" or Ken Burns' "Civil War", and more to promotional footage for an inaccurate historical PC game intended for teenagers enraptured by high tech toys played out on a battlefield.
Come to it, even the game manufactures wouldn't have made so many historical mistakes -- they tend to value good research.

Articles on the subject of the Gulf War from Wikipedia and Encarta are far more informative.

Haven't seen ANYTHING worse than this........2006-10-10

I've bought one and now regret it alot. The video quality is, by far, the worst I've ever seen on DVD, looks like it was recorded from live TV broadcast by a 30 years old VCR plugged into a 40 years old TV set, and the cassete spent 2 to 3 years on some electric magnet before being digitized to DVD.

Not much documentary footage, but alot of the host speculations are filmed, making it look like a bad case of some TV show. Don't even think of buying - if you want a Gulf war documentary look at "Desert Triumf" which is not perfect, but light years ahead of this title.

A great movie.......2006-01-14

I actually was in this movie, I played Alexandra Small when I was 5, but anyways, I actually love this movie. It is quite a good portrayal of the Gulf War.

Gulf War: First Strike - Winds of the Storm.......2005-05-30

Curious that the title shown during the film is NOT the title on the cover of the box. Still, a thorough & engrossing review of Coalition air activities during this historic conflict.
