In 1975, four Dublin teenagers gathered in a crowded kitchen to discuss forming a band. The drum kit almost fit into the room, the lead guitarist was playing a homemade guitar, the bassist could barely play at all, and nobody wanted to sing. Over 30 years later, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen, Jr., are still together, bound by intense loyalty, passionate idealism, and a relentless belief in the power of rock and roll to change the world.

From the anarchic days of their punk origins through their ascent to superstardom with the epic rock of The Joshua Tree, the dark post-modern ironies of Achtung Baby, and their 21st-century resurgence as rock's biggest and boldest band, this is a tale of faith, love, drama, family, birth, death, survival, conflict, crises, creativity--and a lot of laughter.

Told with wit, insight, and astonishing candor by the band and manager Paul McGuinness, and with pictures from their own archives, U2 by U2 allows unprecedented access to the greatest rock band of our time.
