Between August 2, 1990, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and February 28, 1991, when the First Gulf War came to an end, the world watched one of the defining conflicts of the late twentieth century unfold live on television.

Each episode focuses on one person, tracing the events that brought them to the First Gulf War and the decisions they made once they got there. From Norman Schwarzkopf and George H. W. Bush to Margaret Thatcher, Colin Powell, Saddam Hussein, and many others, discover the stories behind the faces that shaped that conflict.

Faces of the Gulf War is a limited series presented by The 80s and 90s Uncensored.
