A good read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
But not a must read. Interesting for anyone in the world of finance no question about that, and surely well written. Though I may venture to say that it's not the author who did not do a great job, but that Baruch's life, in my opinion, while full and succesful, is not that fascinating as a Gould or a Yerkes. But this is my personal point of view and you should read it if you are interested in the man, speculation, and the making and losing of money, as well, I may add, individualism, a quality certainly attributable to Baruch.
Great Story

The story is fascinating and you can't help but like Baruch despite his ego. Grant does a nice job although more because he was truly interested in the man rather than because he's a great biographer.
