John Lennon vs. the USA by Leon Wildes M4B



At a time when the hottest issue in US immigration law is the proposed action by President Obama to protect from deportation as many as 5 million illegals in the United States, the 1972 John Lennon deportation case takes on special relevance today, notwithstanding the passage of forty years since he was placed in deportation proceedings.



Although Wildes did not even know who John Lennon and Yoko Ono were when he was originally retained by them, he developed a close relationship with them both during the eventual five-year period while he represented them and thereafter. This is their incredible story.



Plaudits:



"Wildes certainly has a tale to tell, and he tells it well, in simple straightforward prose that you might expect from a lifelong lawyer." - NY Journal of Books



"Accessible and compelling, this superb account is highly recommended for all those interested in law, politics, and the dangers of the abuse of power." - Library Journal (starred review)
