"Reporting America at War explores the role of American journalists in the pivotal conflicts of the 20th century--and beyond. From San Juan Hill to the beaches of Normandy, from the jungles of Vietnam to the Persian Gulf, the three-hour documentary tells the dramatic and often surprising stories of the reporters who brought the wars home to us. Through the lens of their experiences, the series examines the challenges of frontline reporting and illuminates the role of the correspondent in shaping the way wars have been remembered and understood."--PBS DVD  cover
