My American Journey

Colin Powell gives us behind-the-scenes portraits of Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, and many others. This is a book of political excitement and disclosure, but it is much more. It is a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. While Americans grapple over who will lead the country, General Powell's passionate beliefs in family, personal responsibility, and, in his own words, "the greatness of America and the opportunities it offers," will exhilarate readers of all political persuasions. It is a utterly absorbing recounting of an adventure that has not run its course. It is history with a vision.
