[A] wise and inspiring autobiography Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes. San Francisco Chronicle

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 the retail giant Wal-Mart.

In Sam Walton: Made in America, he tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words. Genuinely modest but always sure of his ambitions and achievements, he shares a revealing perspective on the elements of his success along with his philosophy of life and practical business advice, including:

Competition: I ve always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business
Partnership: Individuals don t win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.
Money: Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.
Celebrity: I m not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dog around in, a Rolls-Royce?
Family: The kids received your everyday heartland upbringing based on the same old bedrock values: a belief in the importance of hard work, honestly, neighborliness, and thrift.

A compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.

-- Sam Walton

"Here is an extraordinary success story about a man whose empire was built not with smoke and mirrors, but with good old-fashioned elbow grease."
