About this product
American War Generals is the story of how the Army's withdrawal from Vietnam shaped America's future wars and the generals who fought them. "We think if we go to war we automatically win," General Stanley McChrystal tells us.

In 1494, Christopher Columbus made a second journey to the Americas- this time with more ships, more men, and a grander mission. His goal: to build the first European colony in the New World.

What happened at this ill-fated settlement remains a mystery 500 years later. National Geographic joins two seperate teams of archaeologists, one at sea and one on land, as they journey to uncover new evidence of the failure of America's first European city, La Isabela.
