'The man who might have been America's first Black president' Guardian
'An exemplary patriot . . . he helped pave the way for so many who would follow' Barack Obama
THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER______________________________________________________________________
Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history - Vietnam the Pentagon Panama Desert Storm - but a history that until now has been known only on the surface.
A Soldier's Way is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders Powell's passionate views on family personal responsibility and in his own words 'the greatness of America and the opportunities it offers' inspire hope and present a blueprint for the future. An utterly absorbing account it is history with a vision
