About this product

Product Information

In late 1971 John Lennon left London and pop stardom behind and moved to New York City, eager to join a movement for social justice and an end to the Vietnam War. He was embraced by radicals, hippies and Yippies alike. Lennon was soon on the front lines of the antiwar movement, inspiring solidarity - and suspicion. The Walrus and the Elephants is told by the unlikely cast of friends, including feminist leader Gloria Steiem and legendary poet-activist John Sinclair. The book is a look back at that time and at the revolutionary John Lennon through the eyes of fellow fighters.

Reviews
"James Mitchell carefully and lovingly has reconstructed an inspiring and poignant chapter both in John Lennon's odyssey and in the tangled flow of the American anti-war and other protest movements of the late nineteen sixties and early seventies. The Walrus and The Elephants is an indispensable window into an amazing time in American history and the history of rock and roll." --Danny Goldberg, author of Bumping Into Geniuses "This book serves as a backstage pass to the missing link between Lennon's music and his activism, ranging from decriminalization of marijuana to termination of undeclared war --both ends of that spectrum fueled by the government's misuse of power without compassion--revealing how the Nixon administration tried to silence him." -- Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counterculture From the Hardcover edition., "James Mitchell carefully and lovingly has reconstructed an inspiring and poignant chapter both in John Lennon's odyssey and in the tangled flow of the American anti-war and other protest movements of the late nineteen sixties and early seventies.
