I highly recommend this book to everybody
The IBSN number is 0-330-33967-2 and it was first
released in 1993 and updated in 1994. 351 pages and
8 pages of black and white photos in the center.
It appears in Tower Records here in LA ocassionally,
but I think it was only released in Great Britian.
It's a great book and worth tracking down and buying.
Try the large bookstore chains, the record store chains
that carry books and the online stores like amazon.com
This is what it says on the back of the book:
In A Conspiracy of Hope U2 now have more than just a simple
linear biography. The book traces the prevailing conditions
which shaped their music at each stage and analyses some of
the inherent contradictions and frictions which motivate
their songwriting. Featuring exhaustive reshearch and
interview mateiral, the book chronicles U2's journey to date
in a musical, political and social context, giving a wider
vision of the work the band have done and what they have
yet to do. For a band that's dangerous because it's honest,
there's always more work to do.
Quote from the Irish Independent: "A thoroughly good analysis
of how U2's songs and stage performances reflect their
integrity and philosophy.
