Beginning 2nd September 1988 for six weeks, rock performers such as Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and Sting headlined a series of 18 concerts held in 15 countries throughout the world, in order to raise world consciousness of human rights in the 40th anniversary year of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Presented on behalf of Amnesty International, this book details in words and pictures the progress of that tour, from its starting point at Wembley Stadium to such cities as Budapest, Tokyo, Bangkok, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. The text not only highlights the musical performances, but also the activities of leading human rights activists who gave press conferences in each of the cities the tour visited, in order to relate the plight of political prisoners worldwide.

Presented in a handsome slipcase, Lennon Legend is both an illustrated and an interactive biography of the creative genius - songwriter, artist, social activist - who changed his times. Created with the cooperation of Yoko Ono Lennon, who has opened her archives for this project, the book offers insightful details about every era of John's life, from his early days at art school to the height of Beatlemania to "Imagine." A live recording of that song is included, along with several interviews of John talking about his life and art, on the audio CD contained in this package. Throughout, the book features archival photographs and reproductions of John's handwritten song lyrics, drawings, memorabilia, and personal papers. In all, 40 removable facsimiles can be enjoyed by the reader, several previously unpublished, including an intimate self-portrait in pen and ink and a plea for world peace. It's been said that John Lennon's was the voice of a generation. Lennon Legend celebrates that voice's power to resonate across the generations.
