Highlights include an interesting snippet about Paul McCartney’s first protest song, Give Ireland Back to the Irish
How many more books about The Beatles, separately or as a unit, can we endure?

From the outset, US music writer Allan Zozinn and Emmy-nominated UK researcher and documentary maker Adrian Sinclair, stake their claim as to why this book, which took eight years to complete, exists.
