Tim Coates's "John Lennon: The FBI Files," is good for starters in offering a glimpse of the long, and often absurd, government surveillance of Lennon, but it could use more narrative by the author, who doesn't quite put the documents in the in-depth context they deserve. Yet for as far as it goes, it is a very good read.
