About this audiobook
The son of Jamaican immigrants, Colin Powell became one of the most influential Americans of the last century. In this dramatic series of interviews, General Powell describes his ascent from the ROTC to four-star general and eventually to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and mastermind of Desert Storm. He discusses his assignments in Germany, Korea, and Vietnam, as well as his role in the Carter, Reagan, and Bush administrations, along with his eyewitness accounts of Desert Storm, the invasion of Panama, and the Iran-Contra scandal. These interviews demonstrate why so many people see Colin Powell as a moral and human exemplar of the American dream and traditional values.
