This wonderful book covers the years from the formation of The Beatles to their break up, but it is so much more than the story of their rise and demise. It looks at their impact on others: not just those in their circle, but unconnected people who were inspired by their music. It also at times poses the question 'what if?'. As a devoted (but very young at the time!) Beatles fan, I loved this eye-opening view of the 60s and the legacy left by these four disparate but extraordinary boys from Liverpool.
Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize 2020.
