About the book

Norman shows Jagger to be a character far more complex than the cold archseducer of myth: human, vulnerable, often impressive, sometimes endearing. Here at last is the real story of how the Stones’ brilliant first manager, Andrew Oldham, transformed a shy economics student named Mike Jagger into a modern Antichrist…of Jagger’s vicious show trial and imprisonment on minuscule drug charges in 1967…his remarkable feat at the Stones’ Hyde Park concert in making a quarter of a million people keep quiet and listen to poetry…his unpublicized heroic role at the Altamont festival that brought the sunny sixties to a horrific end…the cavalcade of beautiful women from Chrissie Shrimpton to Jerry Hall, whom he has bedded but not always dominated… the enduring but ever-fraught partnership with his “Glimmer Twin”, Keith Richards.
