Summary:

"This beautiful, must-have book is absolutely jam-packed with fascinating information about Elvis Presley! Learn what life was like for Elvis Aaron Presley growing up in poverty in Tupelo, MS, about his childhood as told by his father, Vernon, his rise to fame in the music business, how the world lay at his feet by his mid-20s, his military career, his sizable film career, and the pressures that led to his self-destructive behavior and early death. You'll also learn about all the ups and downs in Elvis's life including intimate details about his relationship with his parents, his wife Pricilla, the Memphis Mafia, and an array of girlfriends with photos to match.
