    At a time when the hottest issue in US immigration law is the proposed action by President Obama to protect from deportation as many as 5 million illegals in the United States, the 1972 John Lennon deportation case takes on special relevance today, notwithstanding the passage of forty years since he was placed in deportation proceedings.

    Although Wildes did not even know who John Lennon and Yoko Ono were when he was originally retained by them, he developed a close relationship with them both during the eventual five-year period while he represented them and thereafter. This is their incredible story.

    Praise for John Lennon vs. The USA...

    "A fascinating book about an historic case by the great lawyer who won it. This compelling account of the John Lennon case shows why Leon and Michael Wildes are my go-to-guys when it comes to immigration law."

    Alan Dershowitz - Harvard law professor, Author of "Taking the Stand: my life in the law"

    "John Lennon vs. The USA is a great read! I appreciate Leon Wildes and his son Michael Wildes from when they handled my friend John Lennon's Green card, right up to Michael's handling of my very own Visa. This wonderful book tells the story and their legend as champions of international immigration."
