An interesting perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is not a typical historical biography of the band like we are seeing released these days. Instead, the book complements some of the other better books on the subject such as Miles and Schaffner by offering insight on society and its influence on the band (hence the title). For example, it talks about how the MI5 and CIA originally studied drug abuse as a mind control method and how that research indirectly led to the band's rise and Syd's collapse. Or how the punk movement in the mid '70s influneced Animals. It ends in 1986 by giving an even-handed view of the Waters - Gilmour situation. If you can get ahold of it, I recommend it, especially to the completist. Non die-hards might find it a bit rambling and would be better off looking elsewhere.
