All You Need Is Love to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

the long version

"Never have the stories of the Beatles and U2 been examined in such depth before. All You Need Is Love to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is much more. It is a young man's heartfelt book of extreme fandom. Todd McFliker lays it all out in these pages which include rarely seen photographs and artwork. He considers the parallel careers - the troubles and triumphs - as well as the meaning each has had for different generations." "Here are the lives, the albums, the hits, the sheer bedlam of the concerts, the politics, the musical influence and tribute bands, tour histories, memorable quotes from John and Bono, and much more."--Jacket.
