Listening in on public conversation that recreates Elvis after death, Marcus tracks Presley's resurrection. He grafts together snatches of film, music, books, newspapers, photos, posters, and cartoons, and amazes us with what America has been saying as it raises its late king--and also what this obsession with dead Elvis says about America itself.

Features brand-new evidence and previously secret documents that the king of rock-and-roll was also a bona fide agent for the United States government and was involved in one of the most dangerous undercover operations ever orchestrated by America's criminal justice establishment. This startling new book also probes events surrounding Elvis Presley's disappearance over 20 years ago (his alleged death on August 16, 1977).

The author writes about her close encounter with Elvis Presley March 12, 1988; almost eleven years after it was reported he had died. She also shares a conversation Elvis had with an Anchorage disc jockey at radio station KYAK Friday morning, October 14, 1988.

A collection of the wildest conspiracies to ever exist, from mind control experiments to lizard people, this book explores, debunks—and sometimes proves—the secret stories that don’t quite make it into the history books. What’s fact and what’s fiction? With conspiracy theories, sometimes it’s hard to get to the truth! In Conspiracies Declassified, author and expert skeptic Brian Dunning explains fifty true stories of famous conspiracies throughout history. From the moon landing hoax, to chemtrails, to the mind control dangers of fluoride, Dunning is here to sort the truth from the lies to tell you what really happened.

Do you believe in conspiracies? No one can deny there are many strange events that have never been explained. Why did Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing drop out of the sky without trace? How did the naked body of GCHQ codebreaker Gareth Williams end up in in a padlocked holdall in a Pimlico flat? Did Russian leader Vladimir Putin really order the assassination by polonium of double agent Alexander Litvinenko? This book gives you the inside track on conspiracies, from the assassination of John F. Kennedy, through the mysteries of the Illuminati and Skull and Bones, to the death of Osama bin Laden and the revelations of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. It answers all the crucial questions concerning the Bilderberg Group, the Nazis' Hollow Earth Theory, the Paris car crash of Princess Diana, Roswell, and much besides. Conspiracy looks at a range of the most interesting theories, from the visibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende.
