"From 1968 to 1971, Creedence Clearwater Revival were the great American rock band, ruling the charts and reviving an American roots-rock sound that was unequaled. Through the catchy songwriting, vibrant guitar playing, and strong vocals of leader John Fogerty, the group captured the imaginations of their generation.".

"This book reveals it all, as told by the surviving band members, their producers, business associates, close friends, and families. Drawing on thousands of documents and court records - many made available to this author for the first time - the tragic and triumphant tale of one of America's most beloved bands unfolds.

Years of detective work reveal how a combination of music-industry misdealings and artistic, personal, and family dissension brought down one of the greatest groups in the history of rock."--BOOK JACKET.
