Here's a synopsis by the Boston Herald in 1946 - An authentic picture of one of the most remarkable figures of our day. The narrative is fascinating and the life of Baruch may be said to have become a part of this nation's history. The Story covers such matters of immediate interest as the perfection of the atomic bomb. The story tells how Baruch got a small job in a Wall Street Banking House and how he began to play the Market, laying the foundation of the fortune he gradually acquired. This part of Mr. Shumway's story will interest many readers. Having accumulated a fortune in millions, he sacrificed much of it to devote himself to the public service. -- Collectible copy of this FIRST IMPRESSION. 110 pages.
