Now, Paul's story is told by rock music's foremost biographer, with McCartney's consent & access to family members & close friends who have never spoken on the record before. PAUL McCARTNEY reveals the complex character behind the façade & sheds new light on his childhood--blighted by his mother's death but redeemed by the father who introduced him to music.

This is the 1st definitive account of Paul's often troubled partnership with John Lennon, his personal trauma after the Beatles' breakup, & his subsequent struggle to get back to the top with Wings--which nearly got him murdered in Africa & brought him 9 days in a Tokyo jail.
