He created Vanguard in 1974 and served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until 1996 and Senior Chairman until 2000.

If you have heard of index investing and want to learn more from one of the founding fathers...this is one of the books you should read. The math content is not overwhelming in this book and the language is manageable for someone new to the topic of investing.
