Now band member and guitarist Don Felder finally breaks the Eagles’ years of public silence to take fans behind the scenes.

Rating:  - An Insider's InsightsI liked this insider's view on the formation and development of the Eagles. The book is well written and revelatory, confirming some of what the public might have already surmised about what happens behind the scenes in the lives of rock groups.
