"Popoff's long-time access to the three band members, Geddy Lee, Alex
Lifeson, and Neil Peart, and their associates continues to provide a
phenomenal treasure trove of insight and detail." -- Library Journal
In this conclusion to his trilogy of authoritative books on Canada's
most beloved and successful rock band, Martin Popoff takes us through
three decades of "life at the top" for Rush's Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson,
and Neil Peart. Though this era begins with the brisk-selling Roll the
Bones and sees throngs of fans sell out international tours, there is
also unimaginable tragedy, with Peart losing his daughter and his wife
within the space of ten months and, two decades later, succumbing to
cancer himself. In between, however, there is a gorgeous and
heartbreaking album of reflection and bereavement, as well as a
triumphant trip to Brazil, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and
-- some say surprisingly -- the band's first full-blown concept album to
close an immense career marked by integrity and idealism.
