The Money Machine: How KKR Manufactured Power and Profits Paperback – 1 Mar. 2005

The book is an excellent summary of the lives and actions of Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts and the entire KKR group including how they started, what they thought and how they were as people, and ultimately what they did and how they did it. Because it is written in a very journalistic style, it is easy to read and highly entertaining as well. It avoids the detailed finance but provides real insight into the dynamics of this success story.
