He has been called the Howard Hughes of rock. A reclusive, obsessive figure cloaked in mystery, whose dedication to doing things his own way has seen him dismantle the most popular and successful rock band of the 1980s, Guns N' Roses, in order to start afresh, 15 years later, with a whole new band - but the same uncompromising hardcore attitude.

Some say he is truly crazy, a madman let loose, others that he is a visionary, the last of a dying breed that can be traced back to Jim Morrison, Lou Reed, and Bob Dylan. His name is W. Axl Rose and this is his unbelievable, untold story. Written by Mick Wall, who Axl enjoyed such a love-hate relationship with he cursed him out in one of GN'R's most infamous songs, 'Get In The Ring', from the multi-million-selling 1991 album, Use Your Illusion, this is also the story of Guns N' Roses, the self-styled Most Dangerous Band in the World.

First published to worldwide acclaim in 2007, W.A.R. is now available in fully updated form for this special 2015 Kindle-only edition. With brand new introduction by the author
