Condición: Good. A great American success story . . . an endearing and well-written book.--The New York Times Book ReviewColin 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. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. My American Journey is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders, General 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.

Fascinating.--The Washington Post Book World Eloquent.--Los Angeles Times Book Review Profound and moving . . .

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "It Worked for Me" is a collection of lessons and personal anecdotes that have shaped four star-general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell's legendary career in public service.

Powell's short-but-sweet rules such as Get mad, then get over it and Share credit, are illuminated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand on his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and above all, respect for others. "In work and life", Powell writes, "It is the human gesture that counts".…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling, award?winning team behind March comes the first book in their new, groundbreaking graphic novel series, Run: Book One ?Run recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic change?the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of those who believe change has not gone far enough.
