Content:
General Colin Powell served as Secretary of State under President George W. Bush and National Security Advisor to President Reagan. The retired four-star general is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and two Presidential Medals of Freedom. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George H.W. Bush, Powell became a national figure during the Desert Shield and Desert Storm operations in Kuwait. In this memoir he reveals the principles that have shaped his life and career. At its heart are the Thirteen Rules that introduce his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others
