Publisher's Summary:

Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late 20th century, Sam never lost the common touch.

Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements. Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style. In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

One of the Greatest Americans

Great story very much personalized by Sam Walton telling the story of the beginning and history of Wal-Mart from its beginnings till his death. At the same time almost an Autobiography of Sam. Highly recommended reading especially if you like American business and are a devoted Capitalist.

Could Not Put Book Down

The way Mr. Sam Walton wrote about his life made me feel like I was there experiencing it all with him. For entrepreneurs, he gave many pearls of wisdom that one should not miss. The way he described the Wal-Mart culture is akin to the military culture that has existed for hundreds of years and are all true.

Great book, easy read

Great book, easy read. I've learned everything about Sam, but not only that, ive learned about entrepreneurship, marketing, public speaking, and much more. After reading this book I definitely respect and appreciate the hard work that went into making what Wal-Mart

is today. Classic American story of hustle,grit, and competition. Sam Walton was not a saint, he was a man driven by his passion and this book does a great job of conveying his story.

Great Book, gotta love the title.

I do find the title ironic, but Walmart the company was truly made in small town America, Sam Walton starting out with just a few stores hired some smart people and created a model that worked around the country. There are a lot of great concepts in this book if you can uncover them, you could also find them in various business "guru" books. Walton's story is similar to those as Ray Kroc, or Walt Disney and many other entrepreneurs who were able to get a good idea and turn it into a good model with the help of some smart people, I really appreciate Walton's ability to realize that there are a lot smarter people than him that can make his company great. One of the practices I loved that Sam kept bringing up was that he always said all his great ideas he copied from someone else (usually his competitor) I thought that was great, laugh every time I hear it.

The best book EVER

Tells the story about the man who created a powerful business from scratch. Learn about his quirky personality that had made his so successful. He is truly one of a kind. You cannot find a better biography than this to read every day.
