Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell Audiobook

" Makes you wish that Colin Powell wasn't the fall guy for the Iraq War, at least in the eyes of most people. "

" Colin Powell is a great American, and this is a very good telling of his story. "

" Good book. Easy read for a interesting take on General Powell's life and philosophy I would suggest another book. "

" Great book with a true rags to riches story!!! It tells how a young black man can overcome adversity throughout his distinguished military career and ultimately become more popular that the president. "

" reminded me of forest gump...everything happened for no particular reason... "

" A good book about an interesting character. Looks not only into why Colin Powell acted the way he did in the lead up to the Iraq war, and how his reputation has been tarnished but also traces his entire career and offers tantalizing observations for his future redemption. "

" stupid book about a man who lied about a fake war "

" This book is just waaay too long. I found it interesting but started to get bored during the second half of the book. It became tedious. "

" Inspiring book, underlying sheep mentality, nonetheless a great book. "

" I would have liked the author go into more detail. "

" I listened to this one on our drive to pensacola. Really interesting. I have a lot more respect for the man. I have to admit that I slept through some parts, but over all very informative. Don't know if I could get through the entire things as a read though. "

" Great authorized biography of Powell that ends with his departure from politics at the end of Bush's first term. Far more moderate than the republican party would have his fans believe! "

" Enjoyed this a lot, especially Powell's early life. Good historical context while also being entertaining and easy to read. "

" I have great respect for what I consider one of the finest leaders in recent history. "

" A book that goes beyond the life of Colin Powell and examines the context for which he has lived and worked. "

" A great book. I was surprised at the relationship General Powell and President Bush had, I thought it was much closer. You can see the divide between the State department and the VP. The General takes his shots at Cheney & Rumsfeld. Anyone interested in the Iraq was would find this book interesting. "

" This book took some time read but I enjoyed learning more about Powell and the events that occurred while he was head of the State Department. You learn more about his view of the war and the role he took in the administration. "

" Great insight of a intelligent man! "
