Lennon in America - Geoffrey Giuliano

Filled with countless revelations, rare previously unseen photographs and never-before-told anecdotes, Lennon in America has been launched in the UK with a major serialisation in the Daily Mail, and will be supported by a national author tour. Beyond the carefully cultivated image of John Lennon (1940-1980) as a loving husband, father, composer and dedicated peace activist, what do we really know about him? In this first ever in-depth look at his milestone years in America, where he spent a quarter of his brief life, the myth of Lennon as the swaggering, tough-talking working-class hero is forever shattered. This sensational new biography is based on more than sixteen years of exhaustive research, utilising exclusive interviews with Beatles insiders and family members, private letters and most notably explosive contents of Lennon's written and taped diaries in which he recorded his most private, uncensored thoughts. Beatles authority Geoffrey Giuliano has taken these raw materials, and with his incisive perspective, expertly transformed them into an unforgettable biography.;The result is a no-holds-barred look at the troubled interior life of a brilliantly gifted artist and enduring cultural icon.
