The compelling authorized biography of the man behind the icon. With the historical sweep of nearly a century, "Soldier" begins in the proud island culture of Powell's Jamaican family and ends in the Bush White House. The portrait of a fallible and fascinating hero, it describes the forces that converged to make Powell a unique figure in American life and addresses the many questions that remain after his controversial tenure as Secretary of State and his abrupt departure from the Bush administration.
