Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files - Paperback - ACCEPTABLE. "A strident and impermissable effort to second-guess the wisdom of the FBI. A potpourri of conjecture, supposition, innuendo and surmise.". -Todd Gitlin author of The Sixties. Used book in good condition Book overview: "A strident and impermissable effort to second-guess the wisdom of the FBI.... A potpourri of conjecture, supposition, innuendo and surmise."-from the FBl'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 FBl 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 tew 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 Author Biography: Jon Wiener is Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine, author of Come Together: John Lennon and His Time (1994), and a contributing editor of The Nation.
