In August 2008, Russia went to war with America's ally, Georgia. "War," the third part of the BBC Two series Putin, Russia, and the West, charts the intense negotiations that preceded the conflict. Russia's President Dmitri Medvedev and Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili reveal why war was necessary. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates describe what happened inside the National Security Council as President Bush considered sending ground troops to save Georgia's capital. They reveal just how near to war the conflict brought the two nuclear superpowers.
