The Snowball: Warren Buffett And The Business Of Life By Alice Schroeder

The first reaction to the fact that the biography of Warren Buffet was being written by Alice Schroeder was bound to be welcomed

. After all, she was the only person who had unprecedented access to his records and thoughts and had got extensive interviews with him. The book was expected to be the most authoritative document on the life of the man, though his own version (in his own words) would definitely be more welcomed by the public. Warren Buffet, without a doubt, is the most ethical and the richest people on the planet today.

Warren Buffet Stands Tall Amidst Meltdown

The collaboration between the two personalities has produced 838 pages titled The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life which is an exhaustive look at the life and times of Warren Buffet. While the credit crunch has not really been kind to the investing community, but the official biography writer couldn"t have written the book at a better time. He is also seen as the conscience keeper of the corporate world of America, and now that he has predicted the current credit crunch, he seems to have gone up very close to sainthood as he could have in the difficult business environment.

The Writer Knows Her Stuff

The author Alice Schroeder worked as an insurance analyst before she started studying Warren Buffet and his investing style. The book written by her is as dispassionate and cool as it needs to be. Warren Buffet is well known for his interesting conversations and witty remarks. At the age of 78, he has seen about one third history of America through his own eyes, and all the great personalities have been charmed by him, including Bill Gates and Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham. He continues to live in the modest suburbs of Ohama, though he manages to be equally effortless in the high society of Washington, New York or Los Angeles as well.

He Was Right, and Has Always Been
