We all know how George Soros made his billions trading in securities, bonds and currencies. But not many of us know about the formative years he spent in his native Hungary under Nazi occupation during the Second World War, his penniless days in England where he was once told by the head-waiter of a restaurant where he used to work that if he tried hard enough he could one day succeed him, his failures first as a husband and then as a parent, the wild swings in his mood, his philosophical ramblings and his philanthropic binge.
