John Lennon-working class hero, rebel with a cause, citizen of the world. He would have been 65 this year. A quarter of a century after his death, the questions remain: what was John Lennon really like, what drove him to the heights of creativity and the depths of despair, and why do his music and message still resonate for millions around the world  Now acclaimed broadcast journalist and author Larry Kane uncovers the mysteries of Lennon s life and implodes the myths surrounding it. Kane definitely has the right credentials for the job. He was the only American reporter who traveled in the Beatles  official entourage to every stop on their history-making first American tours, and he stayed in touch with Lennon until an assassin ended the former Beatle s life. Lennon Revealed is filled with revelations about John Lennon s path from public glory to personal destruction, and ultimately to the inspiring rebirth that defines a triumph of the spirit.
