Wars in the Middle East

A documentary series on modern wars in the Middle East from the 1960s to the 1990s. Conflicts covered include The Six Day War, The Yom Kippur War, The War in Lebanon, the Iran-Iraq War, Operation Desert Storm and terrorism. In addition to the war itself, each episode covers the lead up to and aftermath to the war.

Interesting, well-made, educational documentary series. Despite each episode being only about 35 minutes long, all the detail you need is there, including why each war occurred and its effect on the region. No padding with interviews and the like, just the straight facts, told in an engaging way. Good use of maps and archival footage too.
