Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall is a new book by music writer Dave Thompson, coming from the respected Hal Leonard publishers through their Backbeat Books imprint.

To be published on September 17th, 2013, the book is described as "the first full biography of the author of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and, of course, The Wall. It traces his life from war-torn suburbia to the multitude of wars he has fought since then – with his bandmates, with his audience, and most of all with himself. Packed with insight and exclusive interviews with friends and associates, Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall dismantles the wall brick by brick, revealing the man who built it in all his glory."
