Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend

Not many financial figures develop reputations that outlast their lifetimes, but the subject of James Grant's comprehensive 1983 biography is one of them. Re-released with a new foreword, Bernard Baruch: The Adventures Of A Wall Street Legend tells the inspiring story of an extraordinary financier who made his first million at the turn of the century and was eventually asked to share his knowledge with every U.S. president from Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy.
