Highway of Death 1991 — The Retreat from Kuwait | Gulf War History Documentary

Описание: In early 1991, during the final phase of the Gulf War, a retreat from Kuwait became one of the most discussed episodes of the conflict. The event later known as the Highway of Death marked a decisive moment as forces withdrew along a desert highway under intense military pressure.

This documentary provides an educational examination of the retreat, focusing on military context, battlefield conditions, and command decisions during the closing hours of the war. Rather than sensationalism, the film analyzes how air power, timing, and operational objectives shaped the outcome, and why the episode remains controversial in discussions of modern warfare. The Highway of Death illustrates the realities of late-20th-century conflict and the consequences of rapid military collapse during retreat.
