"An in-depth behind the scenes look at the making of the '68 NBC Television Special that put Elvis back on the map, written by director/ producer Steve Binder. Filled with never before told stories and classic images, the book offers fresh perspective on who Elvis was as a man and a musician. Binder recounts his tug of war with Elvis's controlling manager Colonel Parker, shares his personal battle with censors, and poignantly writes a buddy story where he ultimately gains Elvis's trust."--Amazon.com
