      abstract = {The band that changed popular culture forever has become  so shrouded in cultural mythology that it is difficult  today to really understand how or why. Stark puts their  impact into perspective by revealing both the personal  details and the larger events, examining the ways in which  the Beatles' own lives were inextricably tied to the  cultural, youth, and gender revolutions they helped create  and lead during the 1960s. Based on more than a hundred new  interviews, this book offers a fresh interpretation of  their story, beginning with their childhoods in England and  the effect of the deaths of Paul's and John's mothers when  they were young. It documents their special bond with  women; the central importance of drugs, both for them and  the counterculture they led; why their hairstyles set off a  revolution; and the conditions that allowed these four to  conquer America.--From publisher description.},
