The Eagles are the bestselling, and arguably the tightest-lipped, American group ever. Through the band's breakup and comeback, arguments and lawsuits, the members' popularity has continued to soar for more than three decades.

Now, band member and guitarist Don Felder finally breaks the Eagles' years of public silence to take fans behind the scenes, where drugs, greed, and endless acrimony threatened to break up the band almost daily.

In Heaven and Hell, Felder shares every part of the band's wild ride. Beyond the mayhem and clashing egos that have become standard-issue in rock-and-roll memoirs, Felder also remembers the joy of writing powerful songs with his band mates; the magic of performing in huge arenas packed with roaring fans; and the hard work, dedication, and creativity that each band member brought to the music, even in the worst of times.

Offering even-handed and perceptive portraits of every member of the Eagles, Heaven and Hell is a thrilling and thoughtful, raucous and bittersweet tale about the love of music and the price of fame.
