Book Reviews of My American Journey: An Autobiography
Book Review: "Must Reading" for Government Staff Assistants
Summary: 5 Stars
This is indeed a moving book about a great man's personal life and official career, and I enjoyed it very much on those terms. But as someone who once served as a staff assistant to a senior U.S. government official, I also appreciated very much Mr. Powell's insightful chapters on his experiences and methods when working in similar positions for several military and civilian leaders. In fact, I would go so far as to say that Powell's book is "must reading" for anyone who currently is, expects to be, or aspires to serve in staff positions in the U.S. government.
