The book, which is based on the personal accounts of three of Elvis' former bodyguards, went into detail on the singer’s dangerous drug-dependence.

With help from reporter Steve Dunleavy, they produced the tell-all memoir which they claimed to be a friendly warning, rather than a money-making exercise.
Since the singer’s death, most of its claims have proven accurate.

Dr. Erna Schneider Hoover (born June 19, 1926) is an American mathematician from Irvington, New Jersey.
She is known for inventing a  computerized telephone switching method which "revolutionized modern communication" according to several reports.
This architecture used "stored program control" to achieve an unprecedented level of flexibility.
Hoover was awarded one of the first patents issued for software.
It gave priority to processes concerned with the input and output of the switch over processes that were less important such as record keeping and billing.
This provided more robust service to callers during peak calling times.
Some of her work was done while she was recuperating from the birth of her second daughter in the hospital and at home.
Hoover received a B.A. from Wellesley College in classical and medieval philosophy and history in 1948.
After graduating with honors in 1948, she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, an honor society of liberal arts and sciences, and was honored as a Durant Scholar.
She obtained a Ph.D. from Yale University in philosophy and foundations of mathematics in 1951.
She was a professor in Swarthmore College from 1951 to 1954.
Upon marrying her husband, Hoover found it difficult to secure a tenure track position, so she joined Bell Labs.
