The definitive history of writing and producing the"Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous, told through extensive access to the group's archives.Alcoholics Anonymous is arguably the most significant self-help book published in the twentieth century. Released in 1939, the “Big Book,” as it’s commonly known, has sold an estimated 37 million copies, been translated into seventy languages, and spawned numerous recovery communities around the world while remaining a vibrant plan for recovery from addiction in all its forms for millions of people. While there are many books about A.A. history, most rely on anecdotal stories told well after the fact by Bill Wilson and other early members—accounts that have proved to be woefully inaccurate at times. Writing the Big Book brings exhaustive research, academic discipline, and informed insight to the subject not seen since Ernest Kurtz’s Not-God, published forty years ago.Focusing primarily on the eighteen months from October 1937, when a book was first proposed, and April 1939 when Alcoholics Anonymous was published, Schaberg’s history is based on eleven years of research into the wealth of 1930s documents currently preserved in several A.A. archives. Woven together into an exciting narrative, these real-time documents tell an almost week-by-week story of how the book was created, providing more than a few unexpected turns and surprising departures from the hallowed stories that have been so widely circulated about early A.A. history.Fast-paced, engaging, and contrary, Writing the Big Book presents a vivid picture of how early A.A. operated and grew and reveals many previously unreported details about the colorful cast of characters who were responsible for making that group so successful.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Writing the Big Book: The Creation of A.A. has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

A truly astonishing study: profoundly researched but also very readable. No one has previously made such exhaustive use of the AA archives. Ten years in the making! And you can see why on every page. Bill Wilson emerges as an ingenious fabulist who embroidered the truth of his experience, not out of dishonesty, but rather out of a desire to make it representative and thus more useful to fellow alcoholics. The most explosive finding has to do with Hank Parkhurst, who has until now been a shadowy figure in AA history. But he was not merely behind the scenes during AA's formation; he was arguably its true co-founder.
