<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>Half the book is dedicated to the Beatles and the music of the album, the other half to global events in popular culture and politics at the time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>By 1968, the Summer of Love was over--and society's turmoil was reflected by The Beatles in the studio.</b> The result, known as The White Album, featured an eccentric, eclectic mixture of styles, techniques, and unconventional songs.
