About This Book
The U2 Reader presents the world's most popular rock band from its battle of the bands beginnings through their first quarter-century, in all its many facets. Editor and compiler Hank Bordowitz, who Publishers Weekly says "provides evenhanded treatment of highly charged issues," — Library Journal adding that he "never takes sides or passes judgment. yet brilliantly illuminates," — has gathered interviews and articles ranging from U2's first mention in a suburban Dublin newspaper to coverage of the group's appearance at the Super Bowl. The U2 Reader deals with every aspect of the band, from the way they do business to the way their music and lives convey their inherent spirituality. It includes reviews of albums, the live U2 experience, and behind-the-scenes looks at the band, including their forays into pop and politics. This is a must-read for any U2 fan.
