5. Declassified: JOSEPH STALIN

Fifty years after his death, Stalin remains a powerful and dark figure. The almost unfathomable scale of his crimes (as many as 20 million Soviets died in his purges and infamous Gulag) has given him the lasting distinction as a personification of evil in the 20th Century, rivaling Adolph Hitler. Using newly unearthed materials and testimony, Joseph Stalin Declassified will reveal a Stalin never seen before as it illuminates the vast foundation human, psychological and physical that supported and encouraged him.

6. Declassified:CASTRO - THE SURVIVOR

Despite the best efforts of the U.S. government, legal and illegal, Fidel Castro still rules in Havana. The target of a protracted and often bizarre series of assassination attempts, he survived them all. Using unique footage from the former East Germany, this program will explore his career and his skill at avoiding death.

7. Declassified: Viet Cong

Jungle warfare was perfected by North Vietnam. From their hidden tunnel cities, the Viet Cong launched operations that were terrifying in their ingenuity, savagery and persistence. The ten day battle for the place that came to be known as Hamburger Hill was perhaps the classic conflict of the Vietnam War. Piecing together newly disclosed stories from both sides, we learn how American commanders made the mistake of fighting this battle as they had fought World War II. The North Vietnamese, employing a very different set of strategies, built a massive warren of tunnels and then faded into Laos when the battle turned against them. The average U.S. soldier ultimately despaired and asked, "Was it worth it?"

9. Declassified: AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI

Before there was Osama bin Laden there was Ayatollah Khomeini, the most radical Muslim leader of the 20th Century who challenged the world's "infidels" in the name of Allah. With the takeover of the US Embassy and the capture of 52 hostages, Khomeini and his followers launched a murderous Islamic revolution. In time, his inspiration would lead to coups, terrorist bombings, hijackings and assaults against a demonized West. For some faithful Muslims, his rise became the inspiration for political rebirth.
