Colin Powell: The Man Behind the General, the Diplomat, and the Leader

On this episode of Our American Stories, Colin Powell was a four-star general, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of State. But behind the titles was a man defined by humility, discipline, humor, and deep loyalty to those around him. Leslie Lautenslager, who worked alongside Powell for more than 25 years, shares personal stories that reveal the man few saw publicly, from his quiet acts of kindness to the values that guided his life and leadership.

Reading from her book,My Time with General Colin Powell, she gives an intimate portrait of the man behind the stars.
