From the bustling streets of Dublin in 1976 to the grandest arenas on the planet, follow U2's extraordinary ascent as they transform from a group of ambitious young musicians into global music icons.

Music journalist Bradley Morgan delves deep into the band's early days, offering an intimate look at their formation and the roots of their distinctive sound. From Boy to The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby and beyond, witness how each album marked a creative evolution and cemented their status as musical pioneers.

But this beautifully illustrated book goes beyond the music. It explores U2's profound commitment to social activism and their tireless efforts to make the world a better place. From Live Aid to Amnesty International, U2's impact on global issues is as significant as their musical legacy.

This retrospective also offers readers a rare glimpse into the personal lives and relationships of the band members. Get to know Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. as individuals, as friends, and as the driving forces behind U2's enduring success.

Drawing on interviews, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and stunning photography, U2: Until the End of the World is the definitive history of the band. It's a book that will captivate die-hard fans and newcomers alike, providing fresh insights into the band's artistry, vision and resilience.
