This series is the definitive television account of the devastating Iran Iraq war. The films draw on vast amounts of previously unseen and rare footage, as well as contributors from both sides of the conflict – from military commanders, to ordinary soldiers; civilians to government officials. It is a gripping and horrific story where both Iran and Iraq abandon the rules of war, most especially in their use of chemical warfare and child soldiers. It is a war of enormous historical significance, not only for the two countries but the world.
