Featuring original and revealing interviews with band members and key people close to them, and tracing the band's meteroic rise from the early days to a group that has galvanized the pop music scene for more than twenty years, "Stories Behind The Songs" explores the background and inspiration behind every song written by U2, and is the definitive text on the subject. As testament to the band's enduring popularity, a full twenty-four years after the release of their first album, "Boy", in 1980, U2 hit Number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic with "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb", selling a million copies in three weeks. The first single from that album, "Vertigo" won three Grammys. U2 remains in every sense a world-class rock 'n' roll band, and this book takes you into the heart of the group, to reveal the inspiration behind their music. Review: Great book and nice author. Absolutely worthful. - Niall Stokes has a good feeling for the songs of U2. He was there from the very beginning - and it shows! And I also like his writing style - warm, to the point and with details that matter. Review: Worth a read... - Some very good background information here that makes you think more about the songs - as great as they already are...

Good book, but I found better ones describing each ...
Good book, but I found better ones describing each song (and the spiritual references to the bible). The book tells the story behind the songs, but for some songs, he didn't mention the actual subject of the song.

All I wanted to know
I was always curious about the U2 lyrics, I used to search for it on the internet, I found some but I was not sure how much I could trust it. The book is amazing, it tells why and in whitch circumstances the song was written. I loved it. It's clear and understandable!
