The third and final part of the documentary offering an inside view of the Gulf War.
War. On 5 January 1991, US
Secretary of State James Baker met Iraq's Foreign Minister in Geneva. It was their last chance to avoid war. On 17 January Iraqi Scud missiles landed in Israel. Prime Minister Shamir phoned President Bush. On 11 February President Bush had a message from General Norman Schwarzkopf , advising when would be the right moment to end the war. On each occasion, those who were present - in the room with Baker and Aziz, on the telephone line with Bush and Shamir, in the Oval Office - tell for the first time the inside story of a decisive moment in the Gulf War.
