In this sweeping biographical episode of Stories of the Great War, Chris Mowery traces the extraordinary journey of General John J. Pershing—from a Missouri mule team to the battlefields of Europe. With rich narration and vivid storytelling, we follow Pershing through dusty frontier posts, the fire-swept hills of Cuba, the mountains of the Philippines, and into the heart of the Great War. Learn how personal tragedy, tactical genius, and relentless discipline shaped the man who built America’s first modern army—and changed the course of world history. This is the story of “Black Jack” Pershing, General of the Armies of the United States.
