Now, Charles D. Ellis reveals the story behind Vanguard's rise to the top of the investing world. Provided unprecedented access to Vanguard's leaders, including Bogle himself, Ellis explains why Bogle started Vanguard and how he developed it into an investment industry disrupter and, eventually, an industry leader.
