The 246-page book includes 450 photos and images from period publications, album art work, merchandising and publicity materials, and documents from various legal tussles between record labels after the Beatles' worth became evident. Spizer also debunks numerous myths about the group, including a popular one that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy played a key role in their American success as they pulled the country, particularly its youth, out of its collective grief. As Spizer shows, convincingly, the Beatles lifted everyone's spirits regardless of borders; they simply had a hard time crossing ours.
