The Act You've Known for All These YearsThe murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980 was the biggest thing that could have happened to a book called Shout! Coming out just weeks later, Shout! was effectively marketed as the first serious journalistic account of the rise and dissolution of Lennon’s famous band, the Beatles.
People mourning Lennon’s
death, or simply curious about the global outcry surrounding his passing, proved
a ready audience for the book by first-time author Philip Norman.
