Elvis in the Army : The King of Rock 'n' Roll as Seen by an Officer Who Served with Him

Rating:
Summary: A good soldier.
Review: Written by Elvis' platoon commander in the 32ndArmor, 3rd Armored Division, this book gives thedetails of the famous singer's military service in Germany in 1958-60.
In the heyday of the Evil Empire, with ready armies glowering at each other over the Iron Curtain, duty with a combat unit in Germany was no joke. The training was rugged and continuous, and our troops had to be ready to sacrifice themselves in the early stages of any projected conflict. This was a place for men, not sissy stars (such as some others serving at the same time), and Elvis proved himself worthy of the trust America placed in him.
By hard work, and serious diligence to duty, Private Presley made himself into a formidable soldier, asking for no special favors and earning his place among warriors.
This Elvis will always be due the respect of his country.
