Summary
Transcending the mere boundaries of a traditional biopic, 'Why America Will Win' serves as a hagiographic tapestry, meticulously weaving the formative years of General John J. Pershing into the broader fabric of a nation’s burgeoning global hegemony. The narrative commences amidst the rural simplicity of Missouri, tracing the trajectory of an ascetic youth whose internal compass was forged in the crucible of West Point. It navigates through the visceral dust of the Indian Wars and the humid quagmires of the Philippines, illustrating a man not merely ascending the military hierarchy but embodying a stoic philosophy of duty. The film’s emotional fulcrum rests upon the staggering personal tragedy Pershing endured at the Presidio, transforming his subsequent command of the American Expeditionary Forces into a quest for both geopolitical stability and a profound, albeit silent, personal reckoning against the encroaching shadow of Teutonic aggression on the Western Front.
Synopsis
This is not a romance but the biography of the man who now leads our vast forces in France. It shows him from boyhood to his present high command, and the story of his life tells why Pershing was selected to lead the American forces overseas and how he has his own personal account to settle with the ruthless Hun.
