This is the first ever in-depth biography of The Stooges.

The influence of The Stooges on the world of punk and rock ’n’ roll is immeasurable and the band’s three albums – The Stooges, Fun House and Raw Power – have all gone down in history as bona fide classics. The fact that the band only existed for a few short years at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s makes their achievements all the more impressive.
This book contains primary interviews with all the band members and other key characters, providing captivating eye-witness accounts of this most important of rock bands. At the same time author Brett Callwood has created a personal and vibrant history of the Detroit proto-punk scene that has proved to be a seminal phase in popular culture.
A superb account of a band that for many represent rock’s Year Zero.
