Born in Harlem to immigrant Jamaican parents, Colin Powell knew the rough life of the streets and overcame a barely average start at school. He then joined the Army and 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 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.
