Our 5,000-word interview with Paul McCartney has been making headlines around the world this month, with newspapers from Toronto to New Zealand cherry-picking Sir Paul’s claims about introducing his fellow Beatles to the Vietnam war. The interview itself is part of the content we only make available in full to subscribers. But, to let all our readers see behind the news reports into the conversation that actually took place, we've just made the first 1,000 words of the piece available to everyone for free on our website. You can read them here; and can find out, among other things, how Sir Paul looks back today on his reactions to 9/11 and how, despite his pacifism, he would have been prepared to defend his own country.

You can, of course, read the piece in full by buying the latest issue of Prospect from any major newsagent in the UK until the end of January 2009; or by taking out an online subscription to access every article in every issue of Prospect from anywhere in the world instantly. Or you can borrow a copy from one of your generous Prospect-reading friends...
