The life story of a young boy from the Bronx who grew up to live the American dream.

'The man who might have been America's first Black president' Guardian
'An exemplary patriot . . . he helped pave the way for so many who would follow' Barack Obama

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
______________________________________________________________________

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.

A Soldier's Way is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders, 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
