First as a commander in the military and then as secretary of state, Colin Powell proved time and gain his prowess as a leader--just as Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell proves its prowess as an excellent biographical review of the man and his life. It's the first full biography covering Powell's entire life, comes from a Washington Post journalist, and covers his childhood and rise through the ranks of Washington power, considering social issues and personal struggles alike. Any with an interest in Powell will want this; public lending and military libraries in particular will find it a popular patron choice.
