Here are rare interviews and unpublished photographs from the life of a troubled genius. This is an incisive portrait of John Lennon drawn from rare, exclusive interviews with Lennon himself, the other Beatles, his friends and relations. The focus is 1969, the most eventful and productive year of Lennon's life and a period of creative highs, personal upheavals and radical change.
It was the time of Abbey Road, divorce from Cynthia and marriage to Yoko Ono. It was when Lennon became an ex-Beatle, a peace revolutionary and a heroin addict. It was the start of the last decade of his extraordinary life . . .
