From a sham battle in the Philippines that caught the eye of superior officers to his steady advancement through postings across the nation and eventually to France in World War I, Marshall's career traces the making of a soldier whose clear thinking and unshakeable composure marked him as exceptional long before he would ascend to the Army's highest ranks.
