A massive feat of research by Sunday Times journalist Philip Norman, this is possiblt the best biography of The Beatles Philip Norman's biography of the Beatles is the definitive work on the world's most influential band — a beautifully written account of their lives, their music, and their times.

This epic tale charts the rise of four scruffy Liverpool lads from their wild, often comical early days to the astonishing heights of Beatlemania, from the chaos of Apple and the collapse of hippy idealism to the band's acrimonious split.

It also describes their struggle to escape the smothering Beatles' legacy and the tragic death of John Lennon.

Witty, insightful, and moving, Shout! is essential reading not just for Beatles fans but for anyone with an interest in pop music.

The book took three years to complete and was begun during a long-running strike at The Sunday Times in the late seventies.

Philip Norman was able to get a great research, but he was also forced to used his imagination in order to dramatise certain events that he had not witnessed himself. As a result, the book contains a number of inaccuracies and several dubious conclusions.
