The John Lennon FBI Files
Published 1999 University of California Press

Eric Foner of Columbia University writes:
"The book sheds light on many issues far broaders than John Lennon - the Nixon administration for example, and, not less importantly, the particular machinations of Clinton, Tony Blair and other current world leaders. "

The book tells the story of Jon Wiener's remarkable 14-year battle to win release of the John Lennon FBI files under the Freedom of Information  Act.  100 pages of the Lennon FBI file is shown in the book, fully annotated and presented in a "before and after" format.
