Since its hardcover publication in August of 1995, Buffett has appeared on the Wall Street Journal, New York
Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Newsday and Business Week bestseller lists. The
incredible landmark portrait of Warren Buffett's uniquely American life is now available in paperback, revised
and updated by the author.
Starting from scratch, simply by picking stocks and companies for investment, Warren Buffett amassed one of the
epochal fortunes of the twentieth century--an astounding net worth of $10 billion, and counting. His awesome investment
record has made him a cult figure popularly known for his seeming contradictions: a billionaire who has a modest
lifestyle, a phenomenally successful investor who eschews the revolving-door trading of modern Wall Street, a brilliant
dealmaker who cultivates a homespun aura.
Journalist Roger Lowenstein draws on three years of unprecedented access to Buffett's family, friends, and colleagues
to provide the first definitive, inside account of the life and career of this American original. Buffett explains
Buffett's' investment strategy--a long-term philosophy grounded in buying stock in companies that are undervalued
on the market and hanging on until their worth invariably surfaces--and shows how it is a reflection of his inner
self.
