Volume 1 of Birth School Metallica Death covers the early years of the band, an era many fans consider their peak. Brannigan and Winwood take advantage of the access they've had to Metallica to provide insights into the formation years that even diehard fans would not have been privy to. The book does tend to overstate the impact the magazine Kerrang! - that both authors worked for - had on Metallica's rise with frequent mentions, and it does focus heavily of Lars Ulrich, though that is to be expected given that he is the mouthpiece of the band and has given more interviews than the rest of the band combined. These are minor gripes in an otherwise very readable account of what it took for Metallica to rise to their height of popularity, and those who helped behind the scenes.
