Walmart Inside Out, From Stockboy to Stockholder
Welcome to Walmart
Like the company that inspired it, Walmart Inside Out offers great selection in one convenient location:

Memoir — Author Ron Loveless’ life is intertwined with the growth and development of Walmart, where he climbed the corporate ladder for more than two decades

Historical Record — Walmart’s unprecedented rise mirrors a pivotal time in the American cultural and corporate landscape

Insider’s Story — A classic American rags-to-riches journey provides an insider’s take on the inner workings of the world’s largest company

Business Book — Ron reveals the secrets of Walmart’s (and his own) success

When you're the largest and most successful company in the world, you've got a big "target" on your back. Critics hate it. Shoppers love it. Is Walmart the evil empire or low-price savior? There's never been a book as uniquely positioned to answer that question. Until now. Author Ron Loveless was there from the start. Actually, before the start. Born to a welfare-supported family in Hiwassee, Arkansas (population 98), Ron and Walmart are inextricably joined at the hip. His mother cleaned house for the man everyone called"Mr. Sam" long before the first Walmart opened its doors.

Chronicling Ron's rise from stock boy to senior vice president (or in Ron's words, from "out house to penthouse"), Walmart Inside Out gives readers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the corporate giant from a uniquely-balanced perspective.

By turns enlightening, entertaining and endearing, Walmart Inside Out is written in an amiable, down-home style that feels like you're sitting on the author's porch, sharing stories and a cool drink on a gentle Arkansas night.
