  Edited quotes, "In an era when Vietnam consumed the national attention, Jim Morrison may well have been rock's point man in the cultural

  free-fire zone of the 60's.  As lead singer and lyricist of The Doors, Jim's dark vision, dramatic stage presence and leonine visage electrified

  the rock world.  When he died - at the age of 27, many refused to believe he was gone.  'In Jim Morrison: Dark Star,' Jones charts the star's 

  rise and fall and offers some fresh insights into his motivations and early influences.  He explores Morrison's embrace of Nietzsche's thoughts, 

  calling 'The Birth of Tragedy' the key to understanding Jim and The Doors.  A heavily illustrated, brief biography of the singer-composer.  In 

  different ways, it does a good job of re-creating Morrison's life.  Jones, London correspondent for Rolling Stone, takes an objective approach, 

  presenting in solid prose Jim's rise and fall, relying on a wealth of interviews with those who knew the star.  In this revealing, extensively 

  researched, illustrated biography, he explores the reality behind the myth.  The author traveled the world to interview Jim's family, fellow 

  musicians, and friends.  Jim Morrison still has the power to fascinate."  130 color & b/w photos many previously unpublished.
