Very interesting, good acting

This program highlights the first reconnaissance mission of Desert Storm. The program is definitely worth viewing. Tristan Wright plays Lt. Ross and is especially effective in communicating the difficulty of their predicament. He is leading one of two groups trying to discern the actions of Sadaam Hussein. Look for more from this fine young actor in the future.

The program goes back and forth between actors depicting the actual action and the original soldiers telling their story from the present. This story is based on a book by the same name. The author articulately interjects his opinions throughout. It is well worth watching.
