Eagles: Dark Desert Highway by Mick Wall

'This could be heaven or this could be hell. . .'

So sings Don Henley on 'Hotel California', and it is true that the Eagles story was one that blurred Hollywood highs and subterranean LA lows until they looked like the same thing.

The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success and impossibly luxurious lives descended into a nightmare of bloodletting betrayal and hate-filled hubris. The story of the Eagles is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs on a backdrop of sophisticated SoCal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private.

Esteemed music biographer Mick Wall provides the definitive insight into America's bestselling band of all time, exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of the seventies in LA, when American music was taking over the world.

It's a tale that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.
