John Lennon is one of the most well known founders of rock 'n' roll. The glamour surrounding the life and death of this superstar has been portrayed in myriad books. But never from his own point of view. Lennon in America goes beyond the guesses, allegations, and suppositions to get to the explosive truth of the matter. Geoffrey Giuliano looks at the man who was perpetually at odds with himself and unravels the mystery of Lennon's private life through interviews with family members and friends, letters, and never before published diaries and tapes from Lennon himself. What the book reveals in chapter after chapter, is a man desperate for help but surrounded by people Lennon perceived to be bent on his continued fall into depression, bulimia, and cultism.
