John Lennon
From his days in England as a founding member of the Beatles to his time as a solo musician, peace activist, and stay-at-home dad in his adopted hometown of New York City, John Lennon made a mark on popular culture that is without parallel. Author Jeff Burlingame explores the life of this rebellious and gifted musician, whose music and life story still resonate and remain popular with both young and old some three decades after his untimely death in 1980.
* Reviews *
American Rebels series. These biographies introduce iconoclastic, boundary-pushing individuals, from Elvis and his dangerous-seeming sensuality to Malcolm X's militant approach to civil rights. Each volume begins with a scene from a turning point in the subject's life, then details his rise to fame, personal and professional hardships, and legacy. Photographs, sidebars, and pull-quotes help break up the dense texts. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2011
