Bukszpan covers everything down through the decades:
Bassist Steve Harris founding the band in East London

Early success in Japan
Numerous personnel changes that resulted in the current stable lineup

In addition, thorough sidebars examine unique aspects of the band’s career, such as the post-Maiden careers of former vocalists Paul Di’Anno and Blaze Bayley, and the 1984 Polish concerts that helped spur the band’s global popularity.
