«Pretend You're in a War: The Who and the Sixties» is Mark Blake's biography, published by Quarto Publishing Group UK in paperback (400 pages, in English).
The book traces The Who's career between 1964 and 1969, from the mod scene to psychedelia, and analyses the tensions and secrets behind songs like «My Generation», «I Can't Explain» and «I Can See for Miles». It also shows how their music reflected the social transformation of the sixties and culminates with «Tommy» at Woodstock.
The paperback edition was published in 2015. The book's title comes from Pete Townshend's response when asked how he prepared for The Who's violent concerts.
Recommended for The Who fans and for those wanting to learn about the band's history and sixties pop culture.
