This is a pure biography - By: , 02 Sep 1999
I bought this book after reading Roger Lowenstein's book 'Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist' (1996) to read on value investing. Unfortunately, this book covers very little about techniques. And I mean VERY little.

If you want to get to know the person Graham is, get this book. You can skip this book & still produce superior investment returns (this, known as rational alllocation of capital). For value investing, read Intelligent Investor, by Ben Graham.

This book gets 3 stars bcoz it serves its purpose as a biography but at the same time managed to discourage me from spending time finishing it, despite my passion for Graham's investment principles.
