In the Pacific, on the island of Peleliu, the marines fight one of the most brutal campaigns of the war. A series by Ken Burns. Part 9 of 14.

But months of bloody fighting lie ahead before the Philippine Islands, and the people imprisoned on them, can be liberated. A series by Ken Burns. Part 10 of 14.
With morale plummeting in Vietnam, President Nixon begins withdrawing American troops.
