Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley » (1ST BACK B)

Peter Guralnick offers the second and final volume of his engrossing account of the life and times of Elvis Presley. The exuberance and joy of Presley's rise, as recounted in Guralnick's Last Train to Memphis, here gives way to a rather bleak and unblinking account of Presley's personal and professional decline. It is a sad and cautionary tale but one that must be told, and Guralnick does so in compelling fashion.
