After years of shifty threats and menacing troop movements, World War II hit Europe with all its devious force; bringing with it a level of depravity and destruction previously unseen to the men and women it touched. It didn't take long before it went down in history as the worst international conflict ever seen, and as in every war before it, it left nothing but questions in its wake.
Archival aerial images, some lost or forgotten until now, are used to build 3-dimensional views of World War II Pacific battle sites. Including commentary by soldiers who fought in them, we revisit eight key battles of that war: Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Guam, Leyte, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa

The Beltway Boys was an internationally syndicated American weekly television show. The title referred to the Capital Beltway — the circumferential freeway surrounding Washington, D.C. — and to the two journalists who hosted the show: Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes. Airing initially in the United States on Saturday evenings at 6:00 pm ET on the Fox News Channel, the program was a weekly digest and discussion of political issues. The show was taped in Fox News' Washington studios on Fridays.
Typically, the program began with three primary topics that Kondracke and Barnes discussed at length. It then looked at newsworthy events in the political lives of national leaders in its "Ups and Downs" segment, characterizing the events as positive for the individual or negative.
Fox News Channel cancelled the show in April 2009.
