Despite the nearly universal fame of the Beatles, many people only know the fairytale version of the iconic groups rise to fame. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of Liverpool, Francis Kenny reveals the real John Lennon who preceded the legend, showing how his childhood shaped his personality, creative process, and path to success, and how it also destroyed his mental health, leading to the downfall of one of the most confident and brilliant musicians of the past century.
The Making of John Lennon is a must-read for any Beatles fan. It explains how Lennons turbulent family background affected his relationships, why the true inspiration for Strawberry Fields could not be revealed, how Pete Bests college connection led to his removal from the group, and why class backgrounds were the real reason for the breakup of the legendary band. Offering a complex portrait of Lennons early life, The Making of John Lennon tells the true story behind the rise of the legendary icon.

J OHN LENNON WAS born in 1940 in wartime Liverpool. His music, his persona and his beliefs were formed through the varying influences of his home city and its port, people and culture. The city represents the single most powerful influence on Johns life. Indeed, after the breakup of The Beatles, having moved to New Yorks Dakota Buildings, John still kept a sea trunk inscribed with Liverpool which was full of mementos from his city of birth. His feelings for Liverpool were often ambiguous and, at certain periods of his career, the citys deep-seated blue-collar ethos became an obstacle and a source of friction to his later musical success. Nevertheless, Liverpool was passionately championed by its favourite son.
