The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway: A Chronological Analysis of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's Conglomerate Masterpiece

If you love investing, finance, and history this is the book for you. Adam's detailed exploration of Berkshire's past before Buffet is an interesting read for any history lovers. In addition, the book is packed with complex finance concepts with easy to understand explanations from Adam. The book is a must read for anyone trying to expand their toolbox of investing and finance concepts, which the author delivers in the role of acting as an excellent teacher. The consistent rise in Buffet's performance and the constant quest for wanting to find out Buffet's next move made the book very interesting page-turner.

If you want to get under the hood of Berkshire Hathaway, this is the book for you. I can't wait for the second edition.

An insightful walkthrough of Buffett’s financial decision making over the years.This is where you really start to understand his genius, it’s all in the accounting!Very accounting heavy, but also a great way to learn accounting if you didn’t study it in school. Would definitely recommend reading Alice Schroeder’s Snowball first or even as a companion to this one. A story is great, but the proof is in the pudding, and this is the clearest and most exciting pudding ever!

I’ve wanted to read a book just like this for many years and I’m way too lazy to write one myself so I’m really glad Adam did. He did a near perfect job in my opinion. It definitely belongs in the Berkshire canon.

A good book all around. I would have liked more of the author's insight. My biggest beef is his use of the term "purchase multiple." Maybe he mentioned somewhere in the book how he defined purchase multiple but in the investing world I know it can mean a whole host of things. P/E, p/b, p/ebit, p/ebita etc... and it's for this kind of information people like me purchase the book.

Very well written by a straight shooter! Thank you very much for putting this book together. Highly recommended for any serious investor.

I hold an MBA , but felt the analysis in this book gave me more actionable insight into being a CEO than my graduate degree ever could. For those seeking to build a business this is a must read!

Encyclopedic, educational and entertaining. An enlightening journey perfect for the second generation of shareholders as the first pass on their shares. Berkshire has left an indelible mark on American business and capitalism and this is a fitting tribute....warts, wisdom and wonder.

Adam has done an incredible job detailing the Berkshire Hathaway masterpiece. In turn, he has created one of his own.

Really engaging and Superb work by Author

Mr. Adam, it is true, aims at the grandiose book for 50$!! , but then he writes at the top of his voice is nothing new. He is loud that one cannot hear what he says. I prefer to read Mr. Buffett himself. Berkshire Hathaway Annual Reports are for free. Learn nothing

This book is a true masterpiece in explaining the financial and economic success of Berkshire Hathaway from when Warren Buffett took it over and build it into the conglomerate it is today. The author gives a clear narrative on each Berkshire Hathaway’s acquisition with financial data. This book belongs on any value investors’ bookshelf.The website for this book is also a real gem and incredible source of information and learning

All Berkshire fanatics need this book, well written book from Mr. Mead. I am currently reading this for a second time!
