Written by Nelson (education and American studies, Penn State U.), this book is part of The Story of the Band series and focuses on the British rock and roll phenomenon. As with the rest of the
series, this volume's focus is as a learning and research tool for high school students, and as such is highly readable and easy to navigate. Beginning with a comprehensive timeline of major
events during the life of the band, the text covers the early history of band members, their inspirations, and rise to fame, all the way to their current projects and their lasting
contributions to both the UK and US music scenes. Besides the timeline, this book contains a US discography for the band as well as individual member projects, and all awards received.
