Das erfolgreichste Album von Pink Floyd, seit seiner Veröffentlichung 1973, hat weltweit über dreißig Millionen Exemplare verkauft, mit jährlich 250.000 zusätzlichen Verkäufen. Es bietet einen klanglich beeindruckenden Streifzug durch Themen wie Angst, Entfremdung, Tod und Wahnsinn und gilt als eines der konsequentesten Konzeptalben. Technisch war es seiner Zeit weit voraus und klingt auch heute noch zeitgemäß und makellos, dank einer Mischung aus Studiozauberei und Innovation. John Harris sprach mit allen vier damaligen Mitgliedern von Pink Floyd, um die Entstehung des Meisterwerks zu beleuchten. Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Rick Wright und Nick Mason schildern die Umstände der Aufnahmen. Das Buch verfolgt zwei Ziele: Es erläutert detailliert die Konzeption und Umsetzung des Albums im Studio und stellt es in den Kontext des Schaffens von Pink Floyd sowie des Lebens der Bandmitglieder. Zudem geht Harris erzählerisch den Spuren nach, die das Album bei Bands wie Radiohead oder Nine Inch Nails hinterlassen hat.

Love and hate are not opposites, but sometimes they're born from the same fire... Sean: Soldiers die, that's just how it goes. It's different when it's one of your brothers. Team Maelstrom, my team, was broken when we lost one of our own. And now we have to sit around Stateside while the men in charge figure out what to do with us. When they find a replacement, I immediately know it's not going to work. I can't deal with this pain in the ass. I want him gone. It looks like I'm stuck with him, but I don't have to make it easy... Aidan: I didn't ask for this, I don't want this. I've been thrown into this dysfunctional team with a team leader who's out to get me. The guy's an ass, and he's driving me crazy. I can hardly think straight when I'm dealing with him. Then everything changes when he pins me to a wall and kisses me... Before Sean and Aidan can figure out what to do about that kiss, Team Maelstrom is thrown from the frying pan into the freezer. Fear and peril changes people, but will it change these two hot military men enough to keep the team alive? Can they work things out between them and get everyone back home in one piece? And what about the future?
