" Irresistible....A captivating picture that hasn't been seen before....THE BEATLES amplifies and corrects some of what is known about the band's formative years.... It powerfully evokes both the excitement and the price of such a sudden rise." --NEW YORK TIMES At last in paperback: the biography the Beatles deserve. It's all here, raw and right--the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the awe and the jealousy, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, the magic never to be repeated--in a vast, exuberantly acclaimed book that's as brilliant and joyous and revelatory as a Beatles record itself.
