Editorial reviews

Beyond just the music, U2 is an industry, generating billions of dollars, investing in art and real estate in Dublin, employing hundreds of people, and influencing the action of governments through activism and political advocacy. Alan Cross' audio guide takes listeners through all of it, from their start as Dublin teenagers attending the same school, to the production of their 13th studio album. One of the biggest, most influential, and most important rock bands of all time, U2's story should not be missed. Cross offers it up succinctly to listeners with wit and clarity.

Publisher's summary

In this new audiobook, broadcaster and music writer Alan Cross narrates the definitive history of U2. Cross succeeds once again in revealing the fascinating history behind the music in the same compelling way we've come to expect from his long broadcasting career.
