Alice Schroeder's updated and paperback version of "The Snowball" includes a new 31-page chapter that reviews Warren Buffett's performance at Berkshire Hathaway since the financial crisis of 2008.
Unlike many people who write about Buffett, Schroeder pulls no punches, which perhaps explains the reported falling out between the pair.
In her new chapter, Schroeder notes that Buffett made some brilliant moves over the past 18 months but also weakened Berkshire's balance sheet, leading to the firm losing its cherished Triple-A rating. She also notes that Buffett made some awkward public comments in his role as the U.S. economy's chief long-term cheerleader. The chapter also includes details on succession.
