First sentence: The seed that would soon blossom into the songwriting collective known as Lennon-McCartney was sown when they greeted each other in passing outside a local chippy late in the spring of 1957.
Description: "30 years after their acrimonious split, the Beatles continue to be the most influential and best-loved band the world has ever seen. Yet despite all that has been written about them, few have managed to get behind the public fa?ade of the Fab Four and write the truth about the world's most popular band. No one knows more about their secret world than Geoffrey Giuliano. From the sexual abuse suffered by John Lennon at the hands of his uncle as a boy, to Paul McCartney's stormy relationship with his family. From the serial adultery of band members with each other's wives, to the fearsome addictions and personal demons that pursued each member after the Beatles broke up.This is a unique and essential portrait of the band who shook the world like no other. It will change the way we see the Beatles forever" -- publisher website (May 2007).
