The Snowball - Warren Buffet and the Business of Life

Miss Alice Schroeder, a former managing director at Morgan Stanley- an insurance analyst - and hand picked by Buffet to be his biographer - strips away the mystery that has long cloaked the world's richest man to reveal a life of fortune erected around lucid and inspired business vision and unimaginable personal complexity.

The Snowball is the much anticipated book recounting with intimate detail the life experiences and life-wisdom of the man known as " The Oracle of Omaha": Warren Buffet.

Being human, Buffet's own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffet's legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth, it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people's lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffet is the most fascinating American success story of our time.
