He is the proud torchbearer of the Beatles, the greatest band in the history of popular music, and one of the most closely-studied artists in show business, yet secrets and surprises remain in the life of Sir Paul McCartney. The full story is told in Fab . Howard Sounes, author of the acclaimed Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan , spent more than two years investigating every aspect of Sir Paul's life and work, including interviewing over 200 people. The result is the richest, most detailed, and most comprehensive biography of McCartney yet written. Unlike previous biographers, the author pays equal attention to the story of McCartney in the Beatles and the ongoing story of his post-Beatles career, creating an engrossing history that spans the long arc of this great artist's life and work. Fab also includes the full, fascinating story of Sir Paul's calamitous second marriage to Heather Mills. Sounes proves a judicious critic of the music, while also delivering a superb psychological portrait of the man behind some of the world's most beloved songs. "For fans willing to ponder their hero's flaws, Fab delivers all you need to know." -- Rolling Stone "A McCartney biography that intrigues all the way through." -- The (London) Times
