Description of Benjamin Graham: Memoirs of The Dean Of Wall Street

Above all, this is a memoir of discovery. We watch Benjamin Graham discovers the workings of the financial markets and of his own suppressed emotional nature. We are privy to his strengths and his weaknesses, 'especially for the fair sex.'
We share his public triumphs and his private sorrows, observing how ambition and the loss of two sons affected every aspect of Graham's life.

Analyzing his life and accomplishments with the same clear scrutiny he applied to the financial markets , Benjamin Graham provides rare insights not only into the evolution of Wall Street, but into the intellectual power and emotional sensitivity of a man of profound erudition and culture. His memoirs are full of candor, grace, and deep satisfactions for the fortunate reader.
