Remembering John Lennon 25 Years Later

Out of the hardscrabble port city of Liverpool, there emerged a rock 'n' roll group that would become the most celebrated of all time. And the soul of that group was John Lennon, "the smart Beatle," who with his mates changed the way the world looked, partied and lived. From the days in a Hamburg basement club to the "Ed Sullivan Show" to the movies to the "White Album", the music traced a phenomenal trajectory. Along the way came to his beloved Yoko and sons Julian and Sean, the break up of the Fab Four, the fascinating solo albums, and finally, in the end, as assassin's bullet. "Life" was there with John and the Beatles from their first visit to these shores till the final days.

This exultant tale is told in vivid photography and words, as John is brought to life in a truly special volume.
