AC/DC: Let There Be Rock - The Story Of AC/DC
Let There Be Rock is the story of AC/DC written by rock journalist Susan
Masino, who met the band during their first American tour in 1977. Over the
years, she remained in contact with them, watching AC/DC climb to
international stardom. Since 1977, Susan has interviewed the band many times
and their friendship has lasted nearly three decades. Now she tells the true
story of AC/DC's illustrious career and how they became one of the true great
rock 'n' roll bands in history. 

The book traces the band's history, from their beginnings in Sydney, Australia
in the early 1970s to trail-blazing the U.S. mainstream to the devastating
death of lead singer Bon Scott in 1980. The band pulled together and rebounded
to the top of the charts with new front man, Brian Johnson and the watershed
album, Back in Black. Through it all, AC/DC continues their quest to build a
legion of new fans in the 21st century.
