‘Stanley Booth’s book is the only one I can read and say, “Yeah, That’s how it was”‘ KEITH RICHARDS
‘An epic, behind-the-scenes record of life with the greatest rock band in the world’ Observer
The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones is the greatest book about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in history. It is also one of the most important books about the 1960s, capturing its uneasy mix of excess, violence and idealism in a way no other book does.
Stanley Booth was with the Rolling Stones on their 1969 U.S. tour, which culminated in the notorious free concert at Altamont where a fan was murdered. Taking nearly fifteen years to write, The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones has emerged as ‘the one authentic masterpiece of rock ‘n’ roll writing’.

The most brutally compelling book about rock'n'roll and its casualties ever written
An epic, behind-the-scenes record of life with the greatest rock band in the world, capturing both the carnivalesque excess and the mundane grind of the rock tour
Stanley Booth's affection for the band did not keep him from writing about the seamy underside of the Stones' world in the Sixties . . . It is the only book about the Stones that I would recommend both to the general reader and to the most devoted fan. Booth will find an epiphany on almost every page
By far the best book on its subject (including Richards's own well received effort), Booth's book is also easily the most convincing account of life inside the monster created by the rock revolution of the 1960s
