Following on from the success of the first two biographies in our Beatles series, Alan Clayson now takes stock of the life and career of the member who was arguably the soul of the band - John Lennon. Paul McCartney may have been the driving force behind the Beatles output, but Lennon was the acerbic voice, whose lyrics reflected the flip-side of the Swinging Sixties - protest, pain, love and loss. Using the same series format, John Lennon charts Lennon's life and how it intertwined with the creation and rise of the Fab Four on Merseyside to gain world acclamation. Featuring interviews with contemporaries and detailed analysis of his recording career, it is the essential book to have in the set of four.
