David Petraeus, a four-star Army general, began his military career protecting America almost 40 years ago. In January 2007 he became the commander of American forces in Iraq. Under his leadership, he has guided the troops through "The Surge."

Last September, his integrity was called into question by a controversial ad in the New York Times, which asked: "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" — six words from the MoveOn.org that created a firestorm.

This week, the general returned to Washington to testify once again about progress in Iraq, and faced his next commander-in-chief – Senators John McCain, Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama.

Who is this man and where did he come from? Today’s conflicts require that a modern American general be a student of history. In this hour-long in-depth FOX News special, veteran correspondent and anchor Jon Scott interviews childhood friends who grew up with David Petraeus in the small town of Cornwall, NY. Some say no one knows you better than the people who knew you in high school and you will hear from three friends and a soccer coach from that town on the Hudson River. In addition, you will see, for the first time, family photographs of this son of immigrant Dutch parents.

From quiet Cornwall, we journey to the United States Military Academy at West Point, where you will hear from classmates about Petraeus as a young man and officer. After the academy, you will learn how he earned his masters and Ph.D. from an Ivy League university. Those that studied and worked with him will reveal his true character as serious and thoughtful. You will learn inside details on his re-writing the U.S. Army and Marine Corps Counter-Insurgency Field Manual. Sarah Sewall, who worked at the Department of Defense during the Clinton Administration, shares insights working with Petraeus on that groundbreaking field manual.

Learn about a horrific accident that threatened Petraeus' life and hear how his life was saved by the surgeon turned U.S. Senator, Bill Frist.
