The most intimate and appreciative biography ofnbsp;nbsp;the mega rock band U2 to date--by the author tonbsp;nbsp;whom the band gave complete access.nbsp;nbsp; When U2 took the stage for their three-year Zoo TVnbsp;nbsp;world tour in 1991, Bill Flanagan was there--innbsp;nbsp;the bus, on the plane, in the recording studio andnbsp;nbsp;well after hours with the biggest rock band in thenbsp;nbsp;world. A tour that began to support the hugelynbsp;nbsp;successful Achtung Baby record and ended with anbsp;nbsp;second, even more successful record, Zooropa, took U2nbsp;nbsp;to the far reaches of the world, playing to over anbsp;nbsp;hundred sold-out arenas in over fortynbsp;nbsp;cities. U2 At The End Of The Worldnbsp;nbsp;takes you on the world tour and drops you off atnbsp;nbsp;the cultural intersection where rock stars meetnbsp;nbsp;politicians; where writers, directors, and models allnbsp;nbsp;wind up backstage with U2. You're there when thenbsp;nbsp;band meets Bill Clinton in a Chicago hotel room;nbsp;nbsp;when Salman Rushdie comes out of hiding to join thenbsp;nbsp;band onstage at Wembley Arena in London; whennbsp;nbsp;Frank Sinatra and Bono record their famous duet,nbsp;nbsp;"I've Got You Under My Skin." And finally,nbsp;nbsp;when the band performs their last Zoo TV concert innbsp;nbsp;Tokyo in 1993 and nearly collapses from physicalnbsp;nbsp;and mental exhaustion, you are there with themnbsp;nbsp;waiting for the end of the world. Augmented withnbsp;nbsp;sleek photos by renowned photographer Anton Corbijn,nbsp;nbsp;U2 At The End Of The World is thenbsp;nbsp;most definitive book on the band tonbsp;nbsp;date.… (mehr)

Great read. This book made me like U2, against my will. ( )

This is such a fantastic rock bio. Flanagan's writing is incredibly engaging, and he does a great job of exploring the thornier issues from every angle. He really captures the zany wonder of a rock tour, with fabulous descriptions of the cities the band visits (I love the section on Tokyo) and tons of great quotes. The members of U2 are wonderful and worthy subjects, and Flanagan more than rises to the task of telling their story. I wish he'd write a sequel with some of their more modern adventures!
