Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation by Philip Norman
Acclaimed music anthologist and writer Philip Norman utilizes years of research and first-hand interviews with those close to the Fab Four in this expansive biography, published 11 years after the iconic rock band split up and, most notably, a year after John Lennon’s assassination. The epic tale charts the English stars from their humble beginnings in Liverpool, to their astonishing heights of fame, to their acrimonious split. This edition is updated to include Paul McCartney‘s 1997 knighting and Lennon’s 1980 assassination.
