For thirty years Keith Richards stood in the shadow of Mick Jagger. Now, for the first time, Richards is put in the spotlight and emerges as the power behind the throne, the creator, the backbone, and the soul of the Rolling Stones. Bockris has gone beyond anything ever written about the Rolling Stones to explore the true story behind their music: how Richard's creative battles with his demons -- women, drugs, and a love-hate relationship with Jagger -- gave birth to the sound track of our times, from Ruby Tuesday to Gimme Shelter to Slipping Away. This unauthorized account of a life that mirrors the zeitgeist of the second half of the twentieth century puts this primary rock artist, and rock itself, in political, cultural, and spiritual perspective, and establishes Richards as one of the most important guitar players and greatest songwriters in the history of rock and roll.''
