In 1962 Mick Jagger was a bright, well-scrubbed boy (planning a career in the civil service), while Keith Richards was learning how to smoke & to swivel a six-shooter. Add the mercurial Brian Jones (who'd been effectively run out of Cheltenham for theft, multiple impregnation's & playing blues guitar) & the wryly opinionated Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts, & the potential was obvious.

During the 1960s & 70s the Rolling Stones were the polarising figures in Britain, admired in some quarters for their flamboyance, creativity & salacious lifestyles, & reviled elsewhere for the same reasons. Confidently expected never to reach 30 they are now approaching their seventies &, in 2012, will have been together for 50 years.

In The Rolling Stones, Christopher Sandford tells thehuman drama at the centre of the Rolling Stones story. Sandford has carried out interviews with those close to the Stones, family members (including Mick's parents), the group's fans & contemporaries
- even examined their previously unreleased FBI files. Like no other book before The Rolling Stoneswill make sense of the rich brew of clever invention & opportunism, of talent, good fortune, insecurity, self-destructiveness, & of drugs, sex & other excess, that made the Stones who they are.
