About the book:
"Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two-room house in Tupelo, MS, on January 8, 1935. He died at his
Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977. In those 42 years, Elvis made an indelible impression
on pop culture the world over. Elvis Presley, Reluctant Rebel—His Life and Our Times probes both the
man and his influence, delving deeply into the personality of its protagonist, his needs and
motivations, and the social and musical forces that shaped his career.
Elvis's musical talents and liabilities are explored, as are his records, films, and live performances and
his relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, whom he allowed to manipulate him as a
money-making machine. Readers will learn about Elvis's personal life, his devotion to conventional
religious and political beliefs, and his decline into self-destruction and death. Finally, the book
explores Elvis's impact on the musical and racial revolutions of the 1950s and 1960s, his legacy, and
his importance in shaping a generation of Baby Boomers."
