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. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier’s directness.
My American Journey is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders, General 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.  aBiography929155  aMilitary Science929156  aGenerals929157  aUnited States Army929158  aPOWELL (Collin L)929159  aPERSICO (Joseph E)929160  2ddccGF  c222341d222341  00102ddc40708OTHaALbALd2013-03-24l0o355.0092 POWMpGF02123r2022-04-11 00:00:00w2022-04-11yGF
