Alice Schroeder's 2008 authorized biography of Warren Buffett — the most comprehensive account of his life and investing philosophy — tracing his childhood fascination with business, his apprenticeship under Ben Graham, the building of Berkshire Hathaway, and his personal relationships.
Provides the most complete picture of Buffett as a person available — including his relationship failures, his emotional distance, and his single-minded focus — while also documenting the specific investment decisions (GEICO, American Express, Coca-Cola) that made Berkshire Hathaway the most successful investment vehicle in history.
