Includes bibliographical references.

From iconic rock journalist Mick Wall comes the definitive account of America’s best-selling band of all time -- who have sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined -- exploring the hedonistic days of the ’70s music scene in LA, their ruthless, meteoric rise to fame, and the dark truths beneath their musical façade of peaceful, easy feelings.

"So, the Eagles warn us about the outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock 'n' roller. In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to "Life in the Fast Lane" when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, discarded lovers, and former bandmates left unburied on the road behind them. The Eagles' story is a truly Gothic American fable told here with definitive insights by legendary rock journalist Mick Wall." -- Back cover.
