The Beatles' evolution from a Liverpool rock'n'roll group into one of the 20th century's defining images has been repeatedly chronicled but rarely analyzed. This is a critical appreciation of their music and career, and the issues and debates they provoked. The volume provides a sustained investigation of some of the many historical, cultural, musical and sociological facets of the group's career.
