The John Lennon story - John Swenson

John was a man of peace, of love, who died senselessly and violently. This is his story, the story of a man who literally changed the look and thinking of the world. He was a genius who touched us all with his sensitive perception and outspoken commitments.

Written by John Swenson, a Rolling Stone music critic, here are John's early and struggling years in basement clubs of Liverpool, the miraculous rise and sudden break-up of the Beatles, his ever-changing lifestyle, his flair, drama, and controversy, and his overwhelming love for Yoko.

John Lennon will not - and cannot - be forgotten, for the man, and the joyous miracle of his music is within us all.
