U2 at the End of the World

A compelling and intimate biography of the mega rock band U2, penned by author Bill Flanagan, who was granted unparalleled access during their monumental three-year Zoo TV world tour (1991-1993). This detailed account takes readers behind the scenes, from the bus and plane to the recording studio, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of one of the biggest bands in the world. Flanagan chronicles U2's journey supporting their hugely successful *Achtung Baby* record, continuing through the creation of *Zooropa*, as they played to over a hundred sold-out arenas in over forty cities across the globe. The narrative immerses you in the cultural intersections where rock stars meet politicians, writers, directors, and models all converge backstage with U2. Experience moments like the band's meeting with Bill Clinton in a Chicago hotel room, Salman Rushdie's emergence from hiding to join them onstage at Wembley Arena, and the famous recording of "I've Got You Under My Skin" with Frank Sinatra and Bono. The book culminates with the band's final Zoo TV concert in Tokyo in 1993, capturing their near collapse from physical and mental exhaustion. Profusely augmented with sleek photographs by renowned photographer Anton Corbijn, *U2 at the End of the World* stands as one of the most definitive books on the band to date. Hardcover in Very Good condition, issued without a dust jacket. A fantastic read for any U2 fan or rock music enthusiast.
