Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not bad!
Review: I bought this dvd,its a good film for every person who likes to watch about the war in the gulf, since the war in the gulf was short,in some of the topics that you can see are the weapons like planes and tanks that were used in the war. This film also cover some major topic of the entire war. what amazed me was the M-1 abram tanks that cause destruction to the entire T-72 iraqi tanks,plus the topic about the F-117 stealth fighter and other spy planes that contribute to the victory of America against saddam!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nothing really interesting here
Review: Just a standard patriotic show about a superpower's weapons destroying a 3rd rate enemy which had already previously lost most of its military capability anyway after the 9 year war with Iran. There are plenty of documentaries like this on the History Channel, its hardly worth putting in your DVD collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: well done
Review: The "secrets of war series" offers a behind the battles perspective of war in the twentieth century. This video is one of eleven DVDs' in the Secrets of war series and I have found all informative and entertaining, "Including this one." The "secrets of war" presents the battles and events from the covert and intelligence point of view. The series in addition portrays the America positively.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Politics AND bomb footage
Review: This DVD covers the war from several different perspectives. You will see the video footage shot by the pilots as they dropped their bombs. This footage is brief, but it is relatively clear in most instances.

There is also coverage of the political side of the war. For instance there is fairly extensive coverage of the political confusion that led directly to the conflict. Also included are interviews with the men who were there, from the man in the field, to the top brass.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Arms with no politics...
Review: This DVD is fine but not all that... you can not take it as a documentary about political, strategical or historical events. Instead you take it as power show-off.

If you are after arms, planes, fighters and strategic weapons used in the war... this DVD covers most of it.

But if you want fully covered details about behind the scenes policies and in depth covered histroy, this DVD is not all that.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: So So
Review: This has some interesting stuff on it but no continuity. They act like they're really covering the war but they don't. If you've got a lot of these kinds of DVDs and Tapes, here's one more. If you want something to stand alone, keep shopping.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ridiculous
Review: This is a ridiculous glorification of high tech violence. If you want to really learn about the politics of the Gulf War, get "The Hidden Wars of Desert Storm", which won grand prize at the Cine Eco International Film Festival.
