Abba: A Reassessment of a Pop Phenomenon This biography offers a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic pop acts of all time. Once reviled by critics, Abba's legacy has endured through bands like Bjorn Again and Erasure. The story behind their success is complex, marked by early struggles, infighting, financial disaster, and bitterness. The book delves into the band's early years, including their failed attempt to represent Sweden in Eurovision with the song "Waterloo", which caused a national outcry. It also explores the factors that contributed to their worldwide hit records, as well as the personal costs of their success. Written with the cooperation of the band members themselves, this is a unique and insightful look at Abba's history. Through its detailed account, Abba sheds new light on the circumstances surrounding one of pop music's most enduring enigmas.
