This book delves into Warren Buffett’s early investment years during the 1950s and 1960s—decades in which he achieved his highest returns. Author Brett Gardner revisits original documents used by Buffett to analyze critical investments such as Philadelphia and Reading, a declining coal company that transformed into a diversified business group; his first deal with Charlie Munger in Hochschild-Kohn; and the early investment in Walt Disney in 1966, where Buffett encountered corporate governance issues. The book also examines investments in American Express, British Columbia Power, Cleveland Worsted Mills, Greif Bros, Marshall-Wells, Studebaker, and Union Street Railway. It offers a clear and detailed exploration of how one of the greatest investors in history generated extraordinary returns during his most successful period
