My American Journey: An Autobiography

Enjoyed hearing Colin Powell himself tell his life story. He told it like it was - no fluff.

There were things I wanted to know about Colin as a man who is black in America, high ranking in the military and associated with the Republican party. I have a greater understanding of who he is. It's probably as in depth as any speech he would given to a lecture hall full of students so it's nice and it does the job if you're interested in who he is, it opens your eyes to how he came to love the military, the media's effect on perception of military engagements and what exactly it is that this guy does as he scales the ladder of the military career. It also mentions his view on running for President. I won't spoiler alert that. But you could also skip this read. By no means is this a must read.

Did not read the print version.

This was an Autobiography. I have read several other autobiographies and enjoyed them all.

You fell you are hearing a live lecture of a great man.

Yes

Interesting, engaging, revealing

Hearing Colin Powell's voice makes the story more personal

Growing up in America: how the boy next door ended up advising Presidents of the United States

The book was very informational however i wasnt that gripping.

I haven't but i will

I haven't but i will

no never the end i only read the book to get to the end

if you are researching his life this is the book for you with out a doubt however if your look for action turn to "Act of Valor Or Seal Team Six "because this book isn't for you

Over all i still found in enjoyment in the book

I loved it! General Powell had me in tears from the get go. His story is very moving and inspirational. If you have not gotten a chance to listen to it, please do. It's an abridged version, and it's roughtly 3 hours long, but, man, is it worth the time.

This was an excellent read. I really enjoyed this book!

I've always liked General Powell. I also think the book was worth reading and will probably read again. Interesting insights into what was happening during crucial parts in our recent American history.

Gen Powell has lived an amazing inspirational life, which is an icon for all. Additionally, his book is a great source of military and political history.

If you want to listen to this book dont listen to Obamas first, as a narrator we were suprise to hear how mild manner Mr Powell is. We thought General , deep voice. What suprised me about this book is how matter of fact he was . He would talk about his career and then stick something about his family in there or vice versua . I had to go back sometime to get what or who he was referring to. I listened to Obama book first and he has a great voice but he has not lived a great life yet. General Colin Powell has.
