The Beatles: The Biography was among the first major Beatles biographies published after the band's Anthology multimedia project, which culminated in the publication of an authorized book in 2000. With his biography, Spitz sought to present a fresh interpretation of the Beatles' story and re-evaluate aspects of the band's career.

Spitz spent six years working on the book. He said he carried out 650 interviews during that time and received cooperation from Paul McCartney and George Harrison (who died in 2001). He also interviewed people whose story had not been heard in the context of the Beatles' history, while drawing from private tapes made by John Lennon before his death in 1980. Spitz's personal insights and editorialization feature throughout the book.[5]
