Drawing on AP’s deep archive of news stories, profiles, and shareholder-meeting dispatches, this collection traces Buffett’s journey from an Omaha paperboy to one of the world’s richest men: the value-investing philosophy learned from Benjamin Graham, the building of Berkshire Hathaway, the famous partnership with Charlie Munger, and the plain-spoken wisdom of his annual letters.
