Product Description

Colin Powell epitomizes the American success story, yet his heroism is uncommon and unique. Beginning with his humble origins, this biography traces Powell's experiences from childhood, moving from his early days in the military through his climb to the highest echelons of power in Washington D.C. A timeline clarifies the key events in Powell's life and career, and a bibliography covers print and electronic sources for further research.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb biographical resource, February 9, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The latest title in the simply outstanding "Greenwood Biography Series", Colin Powell: A Biography by Richard Steins is a straightforward narrative of the life and career of one of the most powerful African-Americans to have ever served in the United States military. Intended especially for use in high school and undergraduate research assignments, yet also suitably presentable for non-specialist general readers who simply want to know more about who Colin Powell is and how he came to hold the political authority in the Bush Administration that he does today, Colin Powell: A Biography is a superb biographical resource and strongly recommended for inclusion into school and community library Biography Collections.
