About this product

Product Information

"A GREAT AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY . . . AN ENDEARING AND WELL-WRITTEN BOOK." --The New York Times Book Review 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. 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. "The stirring, only-in-America story of one determined man's journey from the South Bronx to directing the mightiest of military forces . . . Fascinating."--The Washington Post Book World "Eloquent." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "PROFOUND AND MOVING . . . . Must reading for anyone who wants to reaffirm his faith in the promise of America." --Jack Kemp The Wall Street Journal "A book that is much like its subject--articulate, confident, impressive, but unpretentious and witty. . . . Whether you are a political junkie, a military buff, or just interested in a good story, MY AMERICAN JOURNEY is a book well worth reading." --San Diego Union Tribune "Colin Powell's candid, introspective autobiography is a joy for all with an appetite for well-written political and social commentary." --The Detroit News From the Paperback edition.

A Very Memorable Gift
I already owned “My American Journey”. Indeed, I knew General Powell, personally. However, I purchased this copy to give as a Christmas gift. To my great surprise and absolute sadness, General Powell died after I received the book. I, therefore, decided to give the book to my friend early, and not wait until Christmas. The book, itself, and to receive it upon the death of General Powell, brought my friend to tears. General Colin Powell was one of America’s greatest citizens. It was an honor to present his signed autobiography to a friend.

Inspiration for Us All
At first, I thought that this book would be boring because it was so long (over 600 pages). But, it was so interesting to read about his humble beginnings in Harlem. Just goes to show, you never know where the next great person and inspiration will come from. It was also a fascinating read to me because he covers the Viet Nam era, something I remember little about because I was so young. This is one I will give to my teenage son to read for inspiration. He likes Winston Churchill, I am sure that he will like this.
