Desert Triumph

The Complete Story of Operation Desert Storm, 1990-1991

In 1990, aggression had a new name: Saddam Hussein.

Watch the initial strikes against Iraq and then ride along with the tanks of the coalition as they smash the Iraqis and liberate Kuwait. Final victory over Saddam Hussein's brutal aggression brings about the triumph in the desert. Narrated by CBS News anchor Dan Rather.
