Summary: A GOOD BOOK BUT TOO MUCH PADDING
Comment: This books gives a history of U.S. politics more than it tells you about Baruch's involvements in Wall Street. It is nice to know of his achievemnts in helping President Wilson run the government but too much details and chapters spent on this sort of distort the meaning of the book's title! Sometimes a story sets on a sideline and then the amount of details given on the sideline event actually trips you off the original story. Its a good enough read if you have the time and patience.
Rating: 3
Summary: An Interesting Biography
Comment: James Grant does a fair job. Baruch does come across as a likeable personality. The author perhaps could have been a little more critical in his analysis and also focussed on Baruch's private life and public years after 1945 a bit more.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Story
Comment: 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.
