Jim Morrison by Dylan Jones
Jim Morrison was the lead singer of the Doors and a rock rebel of the 1960s who died in Paris on 7 July 1971. Since his death he has become the quintessential counter-culture pop hero. In researching this biography the author has travelled the world to interview those who were close to Morrison. The result is a detailed and personal portrait of a man whose self-destructive life-style ran parallel with his irrepressible creativity, in a reflection of his impulse towards self-degradation paradoxically twinned with an urgent desire to "break on through".
