Book excerpt: A complete illustrated history of one of the world's most influential and legendary rock band, U2: Revolution is lushly illustrated with over 200 photos, two foldout timelines, and fresh interviews by rock journalist Mat Snow. Starting with their roots in Dublin in the late 1970s, where the four teenaged friends first performed and signed with Island Records, Snow follows the band through its debut album Boy, their chart-topping albums of the 1980s, their record-breaking tours and global activism of the 1990s, and their reflective reconnection with core fans in the 21st century. With a new album and tour scheduled for release in 2014, U2: Revolution is poised to become the definitive work on a band that has stayed true to its beliefs and passions, through meteoric success, public controversy, and an astounding forty-year working relationship.
