OverviewWhen Colin Powell signed up for the Army Reserve Officers Training Corp in college, he knew that he had found his future. Powell's natural leadership skills flourished in the military, where he moved up easily through the ranks. In 1989 he became the youngest person?and the first African American?to become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top military adviser to the president. In 2001 he was named Secretary of State by President George W. Bush. Today, as the United States confronts security issues and terrorist challenges at home and around the world, Colin Powell's leadership and diplomatic skills have been challenged as never before.
