Omschrijving

How the Beatles really did come and keep their comrades warm … a fascinating lost chapter in their history

How the Beatles really did come and keep their comrades warm … a fascinating lost chapter in their history

Forget the triumph of market capitalism. According to Woodhead, it was the subversive power of art and cultural connection that stoked the fires of freedom and popular revolution, which ultimately brought down the Iron Curtain. A deliciously appealing premise!

An amazing account of how the Beatles lit the red touch paper of change in Russia: an intriguing and previously unexplored perspective from the man who filmed it all happening back in the USSR

Leslie Woodhead has given us a priceless addition to Beatle literature – and a beautifully observed and witty insight into the cultural underbelly of the Soviet Union

Could a few three minute songs really threaten a superpower? Suddenly the claims of Woodhead’s Beatlemaniacs – the Russians for whom Lennon trumped Lenin – don’t seem quite so absurd after all. ****

Effervescent … This tells the remarkable story of precisely how and why Woodhead explains, “the Beatles came to mean more, and were more important, to that generation of Soviet youth that they were here, or in America – for several reasons”

Fab Four zealotry doesn't get much more inspiring than this account of what various Soviet citizens would risk to listen to their favorite band ... Gob-smacking

Did the Fab Four bring down the Soviet Empire single-handed? It’s a wonderful thought … You’ll read the book with a smile on your face, and a song – possibly written by Lennon and McCartney – in your heart

Hurrah for Leslie Woodhead for confirming that the Beatles won the Cold War, well, sort of...

Offers a fascinating confirmation that it was pop culture, rather than political culture, that really brought down communism
