When the war against Iraq was launched in the early part of the 21st century, a vital part of the operation was named "Shock and Awe." Essentially a bombing campaign that paved the way for the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime, the military might the coalition forces drew on was unparalleled in world history. Here, the National Geographic channel offers a sensational insight into the campaign through computer simulated reconstructions of the events as they occurred. Extensive interview footage from people who were caught up in the heat of the battle is also included, adding an invaluable human voice to the onscreen pyrotechnics. Lessons in how the weaponry works provides some eyebrow-raising moments, especially when the accuracy and pinpoint precision of the various missiles are explained. It all adds up to an engrossing program that perfectly illustrates how the army approaches warfare from a technological standpoint.
