Ritchie Yorke witnessed Led Zeppelin’s phenomenal rise and cataclysmic demise. He documents their story with the objectivity of a seasoned journalist, the enthusiasm of a rock lover, and the compassion of a friend. This is the first ‘authorised’ biography of what many consider to be the world’s greatest band. Unlike Hammer of the Gods, this book was written with the cooperation of Led Zeppelin members and close associates. “Ritchie Yorke’s biography charts a fascinating and largely unchronicled period in rock history as he follows the band from its inception through its hell-raising days to the tragic end.”
