The book tells The Beatles’ story in the context of the post-war history of Britain and ‘the sounds that came jumping out of the jukebox’ that so influenced ‘the fab four’. Apart from setting The Beatles within their historical and social context as never before, “Why The Beatles?” asks a big question: how and why did they achieve such iconic status? I examine in some detail 28 of their ‘major’ contemporaries as well as some lesser-known artists and groups with Beatles connections within the U.K. and the U.S. (also included are some suggested playlists).

Another unique aspect of the book is that ten questions are asked about why The Beatles were so popular, and answered comprehensively; even the opinions of some detractors are taken into account! (This includes a list of 100 covers of Beatles songs)
