From Amazon (translated):

In the footsteps of the Beatles, from concerts to backstage including their nocturnal excursions, during their legendary visit to the Olympia in 1964. In January 1964, the Beatles settled for three weeks in Paris and gave several concerts that became legendary in the prestigious Olympia hall. They arrive as a pop group known to specialists and leave as a myth that has conquered the world. Because, at the very moment of their stay in Paris, the Fab Four took the lead in the American charts. On both fronts, Europe and across the Atlantic, the “Beatlemania” wave is launched. It will forever shake up popular culture around the world, shatter artistic boundaries and be at the origin of an irresistible revolution in morals. With the triumph of the Beatles another world opened up, as if the post-war period was ending. Eric Krasker describes this pivotal moment with the precision of a historian and the passion of a music lover. It follows John, Paul, George and Ringo on stage, backstage, in the studio, at the George V hotel, in the capital's restaurants and nightclubs. To make us relive these decisive weeks for France, the author conducted more than ten years of research, collected unpublished archives (present in this work) and met numerous witnesses present at the various concerts. A whole world resurfaces in these pages, an exciting, creative, exciting atmosphere: the spirit of the sixties. And Paris, like the Olympia, played a determining role in it.
