Video Description
In this video we’ll cover the true story of the invasion of Iraq. The Iraqi strategy that took the coalition by surprise, the helicopter attack that ended in disaster and the desperate Iraqi counterattack that almost overran American infantry. As well as the ominous beginnings of insurgency and civil war. IWM curator Kara McLoughlin uses objects from the Imperial War Museum Collection alongside archive film, photography and detailed battle maps to better understand how the Coalition won Baghdad and lost Iraq.
