Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-- Prior to the Gulf War, the accomplishments and background of the first black head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were not widely known. This biography fills the void by providing information on him. Landau gives solid information about Powell's background and career in a straightforward manner. She relates how a combination of hard work, diligence, and excellent performance in the military propelled him to the top. The overall portrayal of Powell is one of a dedicated individual who wants to be judged solely by his ability. Numerous, mostly full-color photographs, of Powell or of African-American soldiers reinforce the text. A good overview of an important military figure. --Jeanette Lambert, LaVega School, Waco, TX
