A Veterans Day Television Event

ISW is thrilled to announce that our award-winning documentary, The Surge: the Untold Story, will air twice on The Military Channel‘s Veterans Day weekend television special! Watch live or set your DVR to The Military Channel on Friday, November 12th at 10:30 PM EST or Saturday, November 13th at 1:30 AM EST.

The Surge: the Untold Story, winner of The Military Channel Documentary Award at the 2010 G.I. Film Festival, offers a look into the real story of the troop surge in Iraq, as told by top U.S. military commanders, policymakers, and troops on the ground.  Never-before-seen interviews with General David Petraeus, General Raymond Odierno, Ambassador Ryan Crocker and General Nasier Abadi (Iraq), among others, move the story beyond Washington politics to explore how a failing mission was transformed into one of the most successful military operations in a generation of war fighting. 

This documentary honors the sacrifice, courage and ingenuity of the military personnel who confronted nearly impossible circumstances, but found success through their dedication and hard work.
