John Lennon vs. The U.S.A.: The Inside Story of the Most Bitterly Contested and Influential Deportation Case in United States History Kindle Edition

by Leon Wildes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

47

See all formats and editions

At a time when the hottest issue in US immigration law is the proposed action by President Obama to protect from deportation as many as 5 million illegals in the United States, the 1972 John Lennon deportation case takes on special relevance today, notwithstanding the passage of forty years since he was placed in deportation proceedings.

Although Wildes did not even know who John Lennon and Yoko Ono were when he was originally retained by them, he developed a close relationship with them both during the eventual five-year period while he represented them and thereafter. This is their incredible story.

Thank You Leon Wildes👍

I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book! Not only because I am a life long Lennon/Beatles fan, but because it was so beautifully and expertly written for the lay person as well as the legally astute. What a shame that our own government falls prey to such corruption and abuse of the system, not only then, but now maybe even more so in light of the current administration!
If you're interested in either John Lennon or immigration, this one's for you. You won't be disappointed.

Leon Wildes writes this book in understandable language for a learned audience. He writes of John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon as he came to know them in their endeavor to attain immigration justice.

Deep knowledge of a sea change in immigration policy.

Certainly John Lennon is the main attraction to this book, but the detail and the time it took to complete this case is extraordinary. Mr. Wilde's went far above and beyond a normal immigration case because he had the resources, the complete support of John and Yoko Lennon, as well as a host of famous and not so famous names. If you're interested in a moment of rock 'n' roll history, off the beaten path, then I highly recommend this book.

I love this book Not because I love the Beatles and John Lennon and that I was 14 yrs old when my first concert was the one to one concert at MSG (evening) on August 30, 1972.
Let me just say there should be more people like Leon Wildes.

Vert insightful. Not for people who want to hear about The Beatles... It's about legal stuff and John/Yoko...

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016

This is an interesting and detailed account of the long and complex case of John Lennon and Yoko Ono fighting their deportation from the United States. It's fascinating to see how immigration laws work - sometimes well, sometimes not. The book is not always easy reading, but it's interesting

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review
