However, Depeche Mode became one of the top 10 of the best British actors of all time, along with such exalted company as the Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie. And, after three decades together, the group continues to thrive, both critically and commercially.

Part of the musical odyssey, part of cultural history, Spence draws on dozens of first-hand interviews to give us an inside view of one of the most unlikely stories in pop and rock.
