My American Journey by Colin L. Powell & Joseph E. Persico Book Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “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.

An American Hero. I used this book in one of my graduate level courses. The was a very good read. I was impressed with his journey and how he became a major leader in our country as well as one of he most respected military leaders of our time, yet still remained humble throughout the journey.

Colin Powell. Outstanding book, great person and leader

Engrossing. Great story, well written. Honest.

Truly an amazing man. Told from the heart by an American Hero.

Fabulous book from an outstanding man!. A wonderful friend (thank you Joanne) recommended this book to me and once I started reading it I could not put it down. Every free moment I had I would be reading it. It's very inspirational, motivational and just plain a great read!

Decent read. I love General Powell and what he did for this country however the book itself became long winded and boring towards the end. I rather enjoyed learning about his beginnings but the depth of policy decisions and depictions of events seemed to leave much to question. For a fan of American history it's a must, on the other hand a causal reader beware.

Absolute Must Read. Excellent account of the life and career of one of the most influential military figures in the late 20th century. Highly recommend.

Great book. Very well done and enjoyable to read this amazing life story of a great, well accomplished General. Enjoy!
