Books by Alice Schroeder

Alice Schroeder is a former managing director at Morgan Stanley and a securities analyst who covered Berkshire Hathaway for years before writing The Snowball. She met Buffett through her analytical work and was given unprecedented access for the biography — hundreds of hours of interviews with Buffett, his family, partners, and associates. The Snowball was published in 2008 and became a bestseller. Schroeder has noted in subsequent interviews that the process of writing it was more complicated than she anticipated, and that Buffett was sometimes unhappy with the portrayal of his personal life that emerged from the reporting.
