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-twentieth century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, Sam Walton tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words.
Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitious 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.
