FRONTLINE Investigates the "Surge"

As the U.S. begins the effort to secure victory in Iraq through a "surge" of troops, PBS' FRONTLINE investigates how strategic and tactical mistakes have lead to civil war in the country. Jon Beaupre talks with producer Michael Kirk about his latest documentary installment, ENDGAME, which traces why President Bush decided to risk what military planners warned could be the worst way to fight in Iraq--door-to-door--and assesses the likelihood of its success. ENDGAME airs on FRONTLINE Tuesday, June 19, at 9:00pm on KCET.
