Sunday bloody Sunday, Pride (In the name of love), Where the streets have no name, One, New year's day, Sometimes you can't make it on your own: these are not just song titles, they are not just words, they are manifestos of a musical and non-musical era marked by U2, the Irish band fundamental to the history of rock and a true atomic bomb until the mid-1990s. But how did it all begin? In this book, Federico Russo tells us about a passion, that for music and in particular for the band led by Bono - whose multifaceted personality, divided between music and social commitment, he also tries to analyse - through albums and songs, ever since the first Boy, released on 20 October 1980, and emphasises the many evidences and references to the sacred and spirituality that the songs covering a career now spanning more than thirty years have never hidden.
