Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files Tapa blanda - 2000 - 1st Edición
de Jon Wiener
Fascinating, engrossing, and at points hilarious and absurd, "Gimme Some Truth" documents the FBI surveillance of John Lennon in 1972 when the war in Vietnam was at its peak. 157 line drawings.
Primera línea
Early in 1981, shortly after John Lennon's murder on December 8, 1980, I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for any files the FBI had kept on Lennon.
Descripción de contraportada
"A strident and impermissable effort to second-guess the wisdom of the FBI. . . . A potpourri of conjecture, supposition, innuendo and surmise."--from the FBI's court documents
"Jon Wiener has put together a remarkable compilation of documents. I know of no keener annotations to any documents illustrating government surveillance. Wiener's commentary is as sprightly as the documents are foolish. He is thorough, appropriately droll at times, and rightly focused on the question of whether the FBI and the CIA were keeping to their lawful mandates during the years of abandon and evasion."--Todd Gitlin author of The Sixties
"The book sheds light on many issues far broader than John Lennon--the Nixon administration for example, and, not less importantly, the particular machinations of Clinton, Blair, and other current world leaders. Very few people know how the process of seeking and retrieving documents supposedly available under the Freedom of Information Act really works; Wiener's book makes this all very clear."--Eric Foner, Columbia University
"A classic case study. There is humor here and mystery, too. But most of all, there is hard evidence--in the FBI's own words--of what happens when government substitutes paranoia for law." --Floyd Abrams
