The new "Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America" by Jonathan Gould offers a poetic and informed take on the musical greats' music, life philosophies, and cultural context in which they worked and morphed their genius.
Do you know if it covers their German experience? It might be a while till I get to it.... Sounds interesting, though. Here's a 'quote' of the day I just noticed it on my iGoogle page and I think you will like:

Yes, Anonymous, it does. Gould dedicates some of the book to the Beatles' experience in Hamburg. And I'm assuming you know that after much time in the studio the Beatles could only record two songs in German. The language was just too darn hard for them.
