First published in 1968, Hunter Davies's intimate and revelatory book is still the only authorized biography of the world's most legendary and most influential pop group. This updated edition presents Davies's original book in a new, integrated illustrated format, and includes many rare photographs and illustrations. A revised introduction covers the 15 years since the last revised edition of the book, looking at how the band and their music continue to influence millions of people across the world and what Paul, George and Ringo went on to do after 1985. The work is brought right up to date by covering the tragic death of the youngest Beatle, George Harrison.
