Six programmes about how the Gulf

War - the first major conflict since the end of the Cold

War - developed, and what it achieved. Presented by BBC Defence Correspondent Mark Laity. Including previously unbroadcast material from the battle zones and the latest perspectives from those who fought and directed the war on the allied side.

1: Thunder and Lightning The dramatic description General Schwarzkopf gave to his troops as they began operation "Desert Storm" almost a year ago, shows the ferocity of the attack they were about to launch. But what would happen if the Iraqis could halt it? Producer Peter Burdin

2: The Storm Gathers

President Bush quickly committed himself to reversing Iraq's shock invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. Why did Saddam Hussein fail to rock the delicate coalition the President built up in response?

The First World War and Vietnam showed that air power alone did not defeat the enemy. So what was the allied strategy in launching a massive air offensive against Baghdad and the Iraqi army? Producer Peter Burdin

5: The Hundred Hours

In a matter of hours, the allies simply rolled over

Iraq's supposedly formidable
