Marking the fifth year anniversary of the Iraq Invasion, PBS's Frontline will be presenting a two-part documentary, Bush's War, tonight and tomorrow. The series details the plans behind the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the power struggles among the highest political figures in office. Part one begins with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Part two examines the Iraq war, the early mistakes that were made, and the war's effects on the Iraqi people, the American military and the rest of the world.

For Bush's War, director and writer Michael Kirk and his team talked to key behind-the-scenes players in Washington and amassed over 400 other interviews. "Parts of this history have been told before," said Kirk. "But no one has laid out the entire narrative to reveal in one epic story the scope and detail of how this war began and how it has been fought, both on the ground and deep inside the government."

Part one of Bush's War will premiere on PBS on Monday, March 24, at 9 p.m. and continues with part two on March 25. --EMILY TAN
