The unanswered mystery here is how someone who reshaped American culture between 19 could have so completely insulated himself from that culture for most of the rest of his life. Last Train to Memphis (1994) brilliantly illuminated the mystery of Elvis’s genius-what it consisted of and where it came from. Guralnick concludes his majestic two-volume biography of Elvis Presley with copious evidence of Elvis’s creative and personal plunge. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shift your energy and attract what you desire. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - MORE THAN 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD The first ever self-development book to help millions of people around the globe transform their lives using humor, irreverence, and the occasional curse word-now updated and expanded for its 10th anniversary with a brand-new foreword, reader's guide, and more!

The descriptions of the desert and the characters was very entertaining. It tells the adventures of the Brit’s guerrilla fighting force, the SAS, in the Sahara during WWII. I first became aware of Rogue Heroes through the BBC docuseries of the same name. It is also entertaining and informative if one reads between the lines. This book is greatly flawed with factual inaccuracies that make me want to give some people a stern talking too.
