My American Journey - Colin L Powell and Joseph E Persico (Cass)
Title: Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror Title: My American Journey Author: Colin L Powell and Joseph E Persico Genre: Biography Format: 4 Cassettes (Abridged) Synopsis: The exhilarating story of a great American--from his childhood in the South Bronx to the highest military position in the United States Armed Forces--who fought for his country and for the American Dream. 4 cassettes. Review: School Library Journal (February 1, 1996) The eminently readable journey of one African American boy from a close-knit neighborhood in the South Bronx through his rise to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to civilian retirement. Powell was neither an athlete nor a scholar; his childhood centered around his home, friends, and church. Later, in college, he found his niche. ROTC offered structure and purpose. A recounting of his army career and the support offered by family and friends are the primary focus of this work. Challenges, lessons learned, and opportunities opened by each posting are shared. Commanding officers, selected business contracts, and four presidents are introduced and evaluated, almost all in a positive light. Powell's involvement with and analysis of national and international affairs, from Vietnam to the Clinton administration, are succinctly and objectively recounted. Scattered throughout the book are personal rules of conduct and occasional incidents of particular kindnesses and of racism. Teens are given an opportunity to spend some time with a thoughtful, positive leader. They can share one participant's view of recent history and gain one perspective on our country's current needs.
