Fallujah was an intense, bloody and personal battle for those that fought it. Just as Somalia defined a generation of Army Rangers, Fallujah created a special breed of Marine for the 21st Century - one schooled in intense urban warfare unlike anything that’s engaged the U.S. military since Vietnam. This powerful one-off chronicles the 2004 insurgent attacks and military operations in Fallujah, which defined a new era of military engagement in Iraq. The special begins at the height of the conflict when insurgents assailed four private contractors, going on to examine the subsequent U.S. and British operations that sought to regain control of the city.  Fight for Fallujah features exclusive, in-depth interviews with the soldiers who took part in the missions and showcases their stories of courage.
