About this eBook

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.

Ratings and reviews

This book is nothing short of fantastic. I read it knowing very little of the Beatles. I'm now a super fan. Bob spares no detail in his history of the fab four. I've since read various books on the Beatles and can safely this is the most informative and accurate Beatles book to date. I will treasure my copy for a lifetime. A masterpiece.

I loved reading this book
