作者—— 科林•卢瑟•鲍威尔（Colin Powell） 1937出生于美国纽约，美国四星上将。在美国四任总统（里根、老布什、克林顿和小布什）班子中担任过不同的高级职务。由于其办事沉稳，实战经验丰富，德高望重，2001年被小布什邀请出山担任国务卿，也是美国史上的第一位黑人国务卿。在世界范围内，或许鲍威尔没有克林顿、小布什、奥巴马名气大，但是在美国的军界、政界和外交界，鲍威尔更享有威望。他任国务卿时支持率曾高达80%以上，远高于奥尔布赖特、赖斯和希拉里。他就像一瓶老酒，时间越长越显得珍贵。 协助撰稿人—— 托尼•科尔兹（Tony Koltz） 美国著名作家，曾与美国著名军事作家汤姆•克兰西合作撰写了弗莱德•弗兰克斯将军、查克•霍纳将军、卡尔•史汀纳将军、安东尼•津尼将军等人的回忆录，还和津尼将军合作撰写有另外两本书。现居纽约。 译者—— 张强：华中师范...(展开全部)
