| America's strength and spirit have been forged in the kiln of battle, and this overview takes a look at some of the most important military engagements from the Civil War to Iraq. Lou Reda Productions, which produces a great many of the History Channel's award-winning military programs, delivers this insightful look at a nation under fire. The Battle of Perryville, the most important battle of the Civil War to be fought on Kentucky soil, has since been eclipsed in the history books, but here you can revisit the story of Confederate General Braxton Bragg's "Kentucky Invasion." The Battle of Normandy, history's largest seaborne battle ever and a decisive factor in ushering in the end of WWII, is also covered, as is the American capture of Belleau Wood from the Germans during WWI and the hard-won lessons learned at the Choisin Reservoir during the Korean War. American involvement in Vietnam and Iraq is also examined (in the La Drang Valley battle) along with the current conflict in the Middle East, making this an enlightening and comprehensive look at American military history. |
