|  | Colonel Tom Parker by James L. Dickerson
In this biography of Elvis Presley`s manager Tom Parker, Nashville writer Dickerson alleges that it was Parker`s megalomania that destroyed the King`s career. He does note some of the good deeds Parker did for Elvis, like shrewdly negotiating a contract with RCA, but focuses on the bad, including coercing Elvis to star in bad movies. Although Parker made Elvis millions, Dickerson feels that Parker was exploiting the star and using the profits to feed his own gambling addiction. AUTHOR: James L. Dickerson
