Anyone here who's familiar with the 'Only young twice' biography? Most important for me; is it in English? And how reliable is the info as it's an unautorised book as far as I know. Thanks in advance for the info!

As far as I know, there's no English translation. The author, Mattias Kling, said he had discussions with EUROPE and their management about the book, but he claimed that they wanted to have full control and dictate what would be written in the book and he didn't agree with that so he decided to do it on his own.
For the book Mattias interviewed several people who have or had close relations to the band, for example John Norum's stepfather Thomas Witt, original FORCE bassist Peter Olsson and journalist Anders Tengner who wrote the official biography EUROPE - den stora rockdrömmen (The great rock dream). When it comes to that particular book, the band and management did dictate what would be written, so it comes across as more of a heroic adventure story rather than a "warts and all" story.
