Abstract:

"The Bond King chronicles PIMCO founder Bill Gross's life and career, from his interest in becoming a Navy pilot, to his affinity for gambling - which bears more than a passing similarity to investing. From there, the book covers his founding of the Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO), a leading institutional money manager with over $356 billion in assets under management."--BOOK JACKET.
