With unique material and exclusive interviews with fellow musicians, promoters and friends, acclaimed author Spencer Leigh has written a compelling biography of one of the world's biggest musical stars.

‘I feel privileged to be a part of Elvis Presley: Caught in a Trap, as I know Spencer writes with honesty and integrity and a genuine love for his subjects.’  Russell Watson

‘…a great book very definitely Spencer Leigh has done his homework, it's critical without being nasty. It's very constructive and sheds light on Elvis and the Colonel from an historical perspective that delves deeply into the grass roots of their very different environments. It alludes to subject matter not well known in the popular imagination - this book I will keep.' Iain Maclean 

‘…a book is well worth reading. There is good discography, a list of Tribute albums to Elvis, songs that mention Elvis directly or indirectly, a list of cover versions and an index. Lots of wry humour in the author's comments and for me a fine reference book with lots of insights into the life and music of The King of Popular Music, Elvis Presley.’ Brian O'Connell

‘I have read most Elvis books and this one is by far the best in describing the scene, the music and of course Elvis.’ M Shortman
