Summary: This is a non fiction hardcover book an autobiography about the history of Wal Mart and Sam Walton. Great book for entrepreneurs, business men and women. This well-written Horatio Alger-like tale of 72-year-old, Arkansas-born Walton is refreshingly upbeat, in contrast to the life stories of some other contemporary entrepreneurs. Walton was a publicity-shy, multibillionaire businessman who was heads the Wal-Mart discount chain he founded in 1962. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trimble, editor of the Kentucky Post , bases the biography on interviews with hundreds of ``associates,'' as their boss calls his employees, all testifying to the hard work, integrity, business acumen and common-touch gift for human relations to which they attribute his success. Walton was also a passionate quail hunter and tennis player, drove an old pickup and piloted his own Cessna.
