Product Description
Product Description
The least understood and most paradoxical of the Beatles, George Harrison has parried for more than twenty-five years any attempt to penetrate the public enigma that cloaks the private man-that is, until Dark Horse. In the mid-1980s Geoffrey Giuliano lived in the "often wonderfully unreal" world of Harrison and his friends, interviews with whom are the basis for much of this vivid and revealing portrait. Here are Harrison's Liverpool childhood, the forging of the Beatles, their unheralded ascendancy, and the bitter break-up; his turbulent solo career with its soaring successes and harrowing setbacks; his reincarnation as a Traveling Wilbury; his impact as a record and film producer; his oft-publicized and misjudged spiritual quest; and much more. This edition includes an additional chapter that discusses Harrison's life through the twenty-fifth-anniversary reunion of the surviving Beatles to record new tracks for their video and musical anthology, as well as updated appendices and rare, previously unpublished photos. The result is a comprehensive, illuminating look at George Harrison's musical career and inner life.

Format:Paperback
Harrison is an interesting figure, and this book deserves a read for that reason alone. Giuliano gives some new insight into Harrison's recent life, however the veracity of some of the information is suspect. I did read recently that Harrison, or more particulaly his wife Olivia, has taken issue with the book. In any event, while not a "must read", I do recommend the book to anyone interested in the subject. Those of us who are Harrison fans are always clamoring for as much material as we can, and despite some obvious shortcomings, this book does deserve attention from anyone wanting to learn more about the "Dark Horse".
Format:Paperback
This book tries to peek into a private world, with mixed results. When George Harrison himself said of the author that "the guy knows more about my life than I do," as is quoted on the jacket of some editions, I don't think he meant it as a compliment. Rather, I think he meant that some of this stuff isn't true, which it may not be. Mostly Guilano rambles around quoting interviews and borrowing prose from his own other books.
Format:Paperback
If you want to get to know the private George here is the book with the key to all your questions. The book deals also to a greater part about George, India and his religion...something that you can hardly find in other bios about George and the Beatles. I can only recommend this oeuvre...BUY AND ENJOY IT! I have to read it again and again...
