Peter Doggett first wrote about feminism and gay liberation in There's a Riot Going On, his 2005 history of the collision between rock music and revolutionary politics. Since then, he has published a series of books about the death of 1960s idealism, and its aftermath, as viewed through the life and work of the Beatles in You Never Give Me Your Money, David Bowie in The Man Who Sold the World and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in his 2019 biography of the same name. His other books include a panoramic cultural history of popular music, Electric Shock. He lives in Sussex with the feminist artist and film-maker Rachel Baylis.Peter Dogett's book is<b> a fascinating, rip-roaring and timely re-telling of a corner of music history</b> that was hugely important but is all too often forgotten. The rehabilitation of Crosby, Stills and Nash's reputation (and of Young's contributions here) is long overdue
- Frank Turner,
<b>Engaging…</b> [Doggett] use[s] the saga of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a metaphor for the Woodstock generation and their doomed mission to return to the garden
- Will Hodgkinson, The Times, *Book of the Week*
[A] meticulous chronicle of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young… Doggett carefully charts the stalled sessions and schemes caused by this alpha-male jostling… For fans who want detailed chronology, it will be a joy, but Doggett’s book is also a deft portrait of a golden age tarnishing even as the band sang
- Victoria Segal, Sunday Times
Especially good on the musicians early lives and early Seventies peak
Choice
Doggett… presents a solid, steady, evenhanded portrait. He loves the music without being slavish, and pays each of the musicians their due
- Anthony Quinn, Mail on Sunday
Exhaustively researched… If you think you know the history of CSN&Y then read this and, like me, you will be surprised at what you learn
- Tom Povey, RNR
Doggett…treasure[s] the band’s early oeuvre and writes with empathy about the group
