Eurovision Song Contest has turned 50 years - what a fantastic journey it has been! And now, everything about the contest is collected in this meticulously researched book, which has been created by the organizers themselves, the European Radio Union (EBU)

Starting at the very beginning 1956 - when only seven contributors competed in front of an audience of merely 200 people, located in some small theatre in Switzerland - till today, when being watched by 100 million people! For more than half a decade this unique contest has featured unforgettable popular music and presented spectacular TV entertainment!

John Kennedy O´Connors official and complete description of this international phenomenon is as addictive as the show itself and tells its amazing story from all possible angles.

Detailed texts about every years contest - descriptions of the most spectacular costumes, analyses of all votes, stories about scandals behind the scenes and highlights.

All winning contributions are illustrated with record sleeves.

The book is richly illustrated with wonderful and unique photos of all contests. There are also many song charts, vote charts and statistics!

Preface by Christer Björkman.
