Instantly acclaimed as the definitive account of Elvis Presley's early years, Peter Guralnick's Last Train to Memphis took us from Tupelo, Mississippi, to scenes of departure and uncertainty as Elvis left for Germany in September 1958. Now Careless Love completes his extraordinarily detailed and accomplished biography. The facts of the story appear well-known - the restoration and confirmation of global celebrity, the much misunderstood Vegas years', the tragic decline and fall - but such is Guralnick's skill that they appear here as if for the first time.
