Damn Right!
The name of Charlie Munger has graced hundreds of covers of renowned magazines. Yet, very little has been written about the man who is considered by many to be the "brains behind" business partner and investment guru Warren Buffett—until now. Drawing from the unprecedented cooperation of Charlie Munger himself, Damn Right! offers an unparalleled look at the tactics and personal history of one of the foremost thinkers of our time—from his fortuitous connection with Buffett to his evolution as a corporate wizard, remarkable strategist, and exceptional citizen.
"Charlie Munger, whose reputation is deep and wide, based on an extraordinary record of brilliantly successful business strategies, sees things that others don't. There is a method to his mastery and, through this book, we get a chance to learn about this rare individual."

"Janet Lowe uncovers the iconoclastic genius and subtle charm behind Charlie Munger's curmudgeonly facade in this richly woven portrait of our era's heir to Ben Franklin. With a biographer's detachment, an historian's thoroughness, and a financial writer's common sense, Lowe produces a riveting account of the family, personal, and business life of the idiosyncratically complex and endlessly fascinating figure."
— LAWRENCE CUNNINGHAM, Cardozo Law School, Author of The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America

"Charlie has lived by the creed that one should live a life that doesn't need explaining. But his life should be explained. In a city where heroism is too often confused with celebrity, Charlie is a true hero and mentor. He lives the life lessons that he has studiously extracted from other true heroes and mentors, from Ben Franklin to Ben Graham. This book illuminates those life lessons."
