And In the End: The Last Days of The Beatles

This in-depth look at the Fab Four's final year is a detailed account of the breakup featuring the perspectives of all four band members. Journalist Ken McNab reconstructs for the first time the seismic events of 1969, when The Beatles reached new highs of creativity and new lows of the internal strife that would destroy them. Between the pressure of being filmed during rehearsals and writing sessions for the documentary Get Back, their company Apple Corps facing bankruptcy, John Lennon's heroin use, and musical disagreements, the group was arguing more than ever before and their formerly close friendship began to disintegrate. In the midst of this rancor, however, emerged the disharmony of Let It Be and the ragged genius of Abbey Road, their incredible farewell love letter to the world. A must to add to the collection of Beatles fans, And In the End is "a great, wildly engrossing read" (Forbes). "McNab focuses engagingly, and insightfully, on the band's final year . . . and neatly conveys the hazards of fame and enduring value of youth, talent, and a touch of madness." —The Wall Street Journal
