Discover the fascinating story of one of the most important bands of the post-Beatles era - Wings! This book takes you on an incredible journey through the formation, life, and breakup of the band that transformed the 1970s music scene and influenced millions of fans worldwide.

"Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run" thoroughly charts the period from Paul McCartney's founding of the band in 1971 to its dissolution just under a decade later. Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with Paul McCartney, key band members, and family, the book offers a unique and candid view of the band's life and work. Paul McCartney, together with his wife Linda McCartney, drummer Denny Seiwell, guitarist Denny Laine, and other members, faced many adventures - from a robbery on the streets of Nigeria to unannounced performances at universities. The band experienced all of this while touring in a modified double-decker bus, often with their children on board.

The book is organized around Wings' nine albums and includes 150 black-and-white and color photographs, many of which have not been published before. Altogether, this creates an authentic and emotive portrait of a band that produced songs whose power endures more than fifty years later.
