description: 'Last Train to Memphis' is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis. Aiming instead to portray in vivid, dramatic terms the life and career of this outstanding artistic and cultural phenomenon, it draws together a plethora of documentary and interview material to create a superbly coherent and plausible narrative. The first of two volumes covering Presley's rise to prominence up to his deaparture for Germany in 1958, 'Last Train to Memphis' will undoubtedly become the benchmark by which other biographies of him are judged.
