Description:	Elvis vs. the World: 40 Legendary Showdowns That Shaped the King offers a gripping new perspective on the life of Elvis Presley - one dramatic clash at a time. From Sun Records to the Las Vegas years, from backstage betrayals to public controversies, this book recounts 40 real-life confrontations that defined the rise, fall, and legacy of the King of Rock and Roll. In sharply drawn, fast-moving chapters, it explores everything from Elvis's battle for artistic freedom to his conflicts with Colonel Parker, his complicated love life, his encounters with the Beatles, and the tragic personal choices that led to his decline. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his story, this book reveals Elvis not just as a performer, but as a fighter-up against family, fame, rivals, lovers, and time itself. This book is part of the series "Music Explained". Mark Phillips is an author, guitarist, arranger, editor, and publisher with more than 40 years in the music publishing field.
