本书特色
in this startlingly frank account of buffett's life, schroeder, a former managing director at morgan stanley—and hand picked by buffett to be his biographer—strips away the mystery that has long cloaked the word's richest man to reveal a life and fortune erected around lucid and inspired business vision and unimaginable personal complexity. in a book that is dominated by unstinting descriptions of buffett's appetites—for profit, women (particularly nurturing maternal types), food (buffett maintained his and his family's weight by "dangling money")—it is refreshing that schroeder keeps her tone free of judgment or awe; buffett's plain-speaking suffuses the book and renders his public and private successes and failures wonderfully human and universal. schroeder's sections detailing the genesis of buffett's investment strategy, his early mentoring by benjamin graham (who imparted the memorable "cigar butt" scheme: purchasing discarded stocks and taking a final puff). inspiring managerial advice abounds and competes with gossipy tidbits (the married buffett's very public relationship with washington post editor katherine graham) in this rich, surprisingly affecting biography. --this text refers to the hardcover edition.

作者简介
Alice Schroeder began her career as a certified public accountant, working for Ernst & Young before being appointed as a managing director at Morgan Stanley in the equities division. She was the number one-ranked Institutional Investor All-America Research Analyst in 2001 and 2002, and a member of the All-America Research team for seven years. Schroeder first met Warren Buffett in 1998. By 2001, Buffett began to suggest that Alice shift from the business of following stocks in order to write full-time.
