Book Synopsis

"We were a band before we could play", Bono tells us, and from the beginning U2 have been distinguished by their shared passion. What began in 1976 with Larry Mullen posting a "Musicians Wanted" ad on his school bulletin board led to an epic journey from Dublin clubs to stadiums around the world. This expressive coffee table book traces the great career of U2, who sold more than 130 million albums, revolutionised live performance, led political campaigns, and made music that defined our age. Discover insights in many personal accounts, photographs and recordings.
