This is a group biography of the Beatles that follows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr from Liverpool childhoods and Hamburg club residencies through the recording years, touring, and the breakup of the band. Norman treats management, publishing, studio work, and the strains of fame as parts of one story rather than as a discography with anecdotes attached. Family, partners, and colleagues enter as they affect the four men and the business around them. The book is a narrative life of a working group, not a song-by-song listening guide.
