A Fine first printing of the first edition in alike dust-jacket; Powell, Condoleezza Rice

In the summer of 2002, Colin Powell and his wife, Alma, were preparing to leave their home in the affluent Washington, D.C., suburb of Potomac. Alma, a pediatrician, had just been named associate dean of the Columbia University School of Medicine. Powell, then the secretary of state, had no job prospects.

A few days later, a delegation from BP approached him. The British oil company was in the midst of a public relations crisis, and it needed someone to head its U.S. operations. Powell took the job, and he and Alma moved to Houston.

In the years since, Powell has emerged as one of the most successful private-sector executives in the country. He's the chairman and CEO of Halliburton, one of the world's largest oilfield services companies. He also chairs the Blackstone Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms.

And he's; 8vo; $7.00.
