Colin Powell epitomizes the American success story, yet his heroism
is uncommon and unique. Born in New York City to Jamaican-immigrant
parents, Powell entered a recently desegregated army, rising to
become its highest-ranking member. He is a Republican at a time
when a vast majority of African Americans consider themselves
Democrats. He is one of the most famous Americans alive, yet has
spent much of his professional life in behind-the-scenes positions.
Beginning with his humble origins, this biography traces Powell's
experiences from childhood, moving from his early days in the
military through his climb to the highest echelons of power in
Washington D.C. A timeline clarifies the key events in Powell's
life and career, and a bibliography covers print and electronic
sources for further research. This concise biography is ideal for
students and general readers interested in the story behind one of
America's most important and respected citizens, and the struggles
an African American must face and overcome to succeed in
contemporary America.
