  <description><![CDATA[Award-winning biographer Elizabeth Partridge dives into Lennon's life from the night he was born in 1940 during a World War II air raid on Liverpool, deftly taking us through his turbulent childhood and his rebellious rock'n'roll teens to his celebrated life writing, recording, and performing music with the Beatles. She sheds light on the years after the Beatles, with Yoko Ono, as he struggled to make sense of his own artistic life&#151;one that had turned from youthful angst to suffocating fame in almost a split second.<br/><br/> Partridge chronicles the emotional highs and paralyzing lows Lennon transformed into brilliant, evocative songs. With striking black-andwhite photographs spanning his entire life, <em>John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth</em> is the unforgettable story of one of rock's biggest legends.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[An oversize coffee-table style book which presents a photo essay that attempts to cut away the glamour and mystique that surrounds the “legend” of John Lennon to reveal the man in all his raw talent, earnest beliefs, and deepest insecurities.

    <![CDATA[Award-winning biographer Elizabeth Partridge dives into Lennon's life from the night he was born in 1940 during a World War II air raid on Liverpool, deftly taking us through his turbulent childhood and his rebellious rock'n'roll teens to his celebrated life writing, recording, and performing music with the Beatles. She sheds light on the years after the Beatles, with Yoko Ono, as he struggled to make sense of his own artistic life&#151;one that had turned from youthful angst to suffocating fame in almost a split second.<br/><br/> Partridge chronicles the emotional highs and paralyzing lows Lennon transformed into brilliant, evocative songs. With striking black-andwhite photographs spanning his entire life, <em>John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth</em> is the unforgettable story of one of rock's biggest legends.]]>

    <![CDATA[Award-winning biographer Elizabeth Partridge dives into Lennon's life from the night he was born in 1940 during a World War II air raid on Liverpool, deftly taking us through his turbulent childhood and his rebellious rock'n'roll teens to his celebrated life writing, recording, and performing music with the Beatles. She sheds light on the years after the Beatles, with Yoko Ono, as he struggled to make sense of his own artistic life&#151;one that had turned from youthful angst to suffocating fame in almost a split second.<br/><br/> Partridge chronicles the emotional highs and paralyzing lows Lennon transformed into brilliant, evocative songs. With striking black-andwhite photographs spanning his entire life, <em>John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth</em> is the unforgettable story of one of rock's biggest legends.]]>
