Great Story
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.

An Interesting Biography
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.

Interesting tale of a Wall Street legend,

This review is from: Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Trailblazer) (Hardcover)
I like James Grant's slant on this biography, focusing on the man as a trader. A tall order and I don't think it was accomplished. It read more like a regular biography which isn't entirely bad. You will learn a lot about Bernard Baruch which is worth the price of this book. I am a big fan of Wall St. history and Baruch plays a large part. Grant is a tremendous writer regarding his views on the markets via his newsletter and books but this book didn't really read like his other great efforts. In summary, if you are interested in Wall St history, you can't grow wrong with this effort.
