From the inner left flap of the book:

Though so much has been written about the Beatles' concert in Manila that took place more than fifty years ago, no book has ever been written about it. Until now. The author has conducted an extensive research to come up with the complete story not just of the biggest musical event that took place in the Philippines, but also the scandal that it spawned. Did the Fab Four really snub the invitation extended to them by the First Lady Imelda Marcos? But was there really an invitation in the first place? Or, as had been claimed by a concert promoter, was it the Beatles who broached the idea of paying a courtesy visit to the presidential palace? Five decades on and these burning questions remain unanswered. Then, too, the mayhem that met the Beatles at the airport on the day of their departure. It was an ugly scene that bred the equally intriguing question: Was there really an outpouring of outrage amongst the Filipinos so much so that they took it upon themselves to exact vengeance against the four Englishmen for their disrespect towards the First Lady and her children? These questions (and some more) are all dealt with in this book. It is the author's purpose, in including in this volume stories that span more than five decades, to present to the reader the events either that took place in the lives of the characters of this unforgettable affair or which are relevant to the Beatles' Manila concert.
