U2 are one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Following the success of "Unforgettable Fire" and "Rattle and Hum", this book looks at the social and political conditions that have shaped the band and their music, and analyzes some of the inherent contradictions and frictions which motivate their songwriting. It features interviews with people who have worked closely with the band.
This book is so badly written it is practically unreadable. The language is wooden and repetitive. There are no real insights and despite all the words the reader comes away with little understanding of U2 and their music.
