A review by dariazeoli
John Lennon vs. the U.S.A.: The Inside Story of the Most Bitterly Contested and Influential Deportation Case in United States History by Leon Wildes

4.0

While I consider myself a big fan of The Beatles and well-versed in much of the lives of its members, I knew very little about the over 4 years that John Lennon fought deportation by the US government.

This book, written by Lennon's immigration lawyer, is a fascinating look at a legal battle that influences immigration today. I couldn't help but think of the parallels going on 40 years on.

While some of the book felt repetitive, I never felt overwhelmed by legal jargon. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in John Lennon or in the government's influence in immigration matters.

Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy of this book.
