About this product

Product Information

Hailed as "a masterwork" by the Wall Street Journal , Careless Love is the full, true, and mesmerizing story of Elvis Presley's last two decades, in the long-awaited second volume of Peter Guralnick's masterful two-part biography. Winner of the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award Last Train to Memphis , the first part of Guralnick's two-volume life of Elvis Presley, was acclaimed by the New York Times as "a triumph of biographical art." This concluding volume recounts the second half of Elvis' life in rich and previously unimagined detail, and confirms Guralnick's status as one of the great biographers of our time. Beginning with Presley's army service in Germany in 1958 and ending with his death in Memphis in 1977, Careless Love chronicles the unravelling of the dream that once shone so brightly, homing in on the complex playing-out of Elvis' relationship with his Machiavellian manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It's a breathtaking revelatory drama that for the first time places the events of a too-often mistold tale in a fresh, believable, and understandable context. Elvis' changes during these years form a tragic mystery that Careless Love unlocks for the first time. This is the quintessential American story, encompassing elements of race, class, wealth, sex, music, religion, and personal transformation. Written with grace, sensitivity, and passion, Careless Love is a unique contribution to our understanding of American popular culture and the nature of success, giving us true insight at last into one of the most misunderstood public figures of our times.

Way to long a book
This book is a biography of Elvis’ career more then him. It goes over every detail of every contract and everyone who worked for him. Way to long but it does describe a crazy lonely chaotic life. He really was never right ever since he was a child. Very sad To my surprise he wasn’t even a good father. Most movies and books sugarcoat his life. This book, although way to long and tedious, tells it like it was.

great book
A thorough and dispassionate look at an American icon, his background, unprecedented successes and tragic disappointments, and the various societal moods and trends that spawned and then destroyed him. A bitter lesson on the heavy price of fame.
