More than thirty years after its first publication, and despite the millions of words published on the Beatles since then, Hunter Davies's intimate book is still the only authorised biography of the world's most legendary and influential pop group.

As the first and last writer to have full access to all four Beatles, as well as their help and encouragement, Hunter Davies spent eighteen months with them during 1967-8, when they were at the peak of their musical genius as a group,
collecting material that would create, according to Marshall McLuhan, ‘a document of our century’.

As well as spending time with the Beatles themselves, the author personally interviewed a large number of their close
friends, family, colleagues, former band members, wives and ex-wives. His fascinating book captures the band at the height of their success, and explains how they got there, in their own words and the words of those who were with them at the time.

Hunter Davies remained friends with the Beatles after his original book was published, which enabled him to provide an extensive final chapter describing how and why the group broke up, and to cover their later careers and the death of John Lennon. He also reveals how his book came to be written, with stories he was unable to tell at the time.

In a revised introduction, the author looks at how the Beatles and their music continue to influence millions of people across the world, tells us what the surviving members went on to do in the years following the last edition of the work, and writes about the death of George Harrison.
