This book draws on over 70 exclusive interviews with key characters in that incredible history, all telling their stories first-hand. Interviewees include legendary singers Blaze Bayley, Paul Di'Anno and Dennis Willcock plus thirteen other ex-members of Iron Maiden.

Add to this countless household names from associated bands (Gypsy's Kiss, Urchin, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Praying Mantis), Killer Krew heroes, recording engineers, PR officers, fan club legends and even a one-time walking Eddie, and you have something special in your hands.

Forget the myths and the wikis, the publicity stunts and the white lies: read about how it really happened in the company of the people who were actually there.

Forewords by the reclusive first ever Maiden singer Paul Mario Day and Maiden mega-fan Michael Kiske of Helloween.

This is Maiden's story how it has never been told before. Up the Irons!
