Leon Wildes is the author of John Lennon vs The U.S.A.: The Inside Story of the Most Bitterly Contested and Influential Deportation Case in United States History (Ankerwycke 2016). Wildes is an immigration attorney and the founder partner of Wildes & Weinberg.

As immigration issues dominate the discussion of President-Elect Donald Trump’s transition to power, Wildes takes us back to the dramatic deportation case of John Lennon. Part legal analysis, part legal history, John Lennon vs. The U.S.A. shows the way presidential politics played out in the case against Lennon. Wildes, Lennon’s lawyer in the case, retells the case for the first time in this interesting new book.
