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 20th century, Sam never lost the common touch.

Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions 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.

I love non-fiction as a genre. This book did not disappoint me. It details the whys and hows of running a Wal-Mart Center and the thinking behind how things are done. I applaud Sam Walton for trying to expand and at the same time, keep a small-town
feel to each of his stores. I was encouraged to read about Associate incentives offered to employees. It surely gave me
more compassion for shopping at Wal-Mart, and I really would have enjoyed meeting Sam Walton in person. He truly
was an exceptional individual.

You will think about Wal-Mart very differently....
