Description

The definitive biography of The Beatles, hailed as "irresistible" by the New York Times, "riveting" by the Boston Globe, and "masterful" by Time.

As soon as The Beatles became famous, the spin machine began to construct a myth -- one that has continued to this day. But the truth is much more interesting, much more exciting, and much more moving -- the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the awe and the jealousy, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, and the magic to never be repeated. In this vast, revelatory, exuberantly acclaimed, and bestselling book, Bob Spitz has written the biography for which Beatles fans have long waited.

    By Rarity Manor
    Excellent! Even if you think you know all there is to know about The Beatles, this book will hold your interest every page of the way.
  • Comprehensive and Well-Researched

    By One Suitcase
    Well-researched, especially their earliest days with over a 1/3 of the book covering the pre-1963 period. The book is full of footnotes and explanatory comments, but there were still too many unattributed observations that felt more like Spitz’s surmises than anything rooted in what may or may not have occurred.
