This was done under a very "sick" man J Edgar Hoover who had the goods on everybody excluding himself. Better you watch Elvis singing Fairytale on U-tube thats something one can enjoy.

I think it would make for some good reading. Its always interesting to see what the FBI makes of us little people. If nothing else it might be worth a few good chuckles. Especially if Mr. Tu Tu is involved. On a serious note, I understand they were involved in a few cases of death threats on Elvis. I'd read it.

The real story here are the documents relating to Frederick Pro, and Elvis' Jetstar aircraft. The rest of the files are, for the most part at least, totally uninteresting. Most of the documents relating to the extortion (These form a huge part of the FBI files on Elvis), were censored on the grounds of "National Security" amongst other things, which only makes you think all the more about what was really going on. Does this book decipher and explain these documents, or is it just a compilation of photocopies? This is a fascinating area of Elvis's life which could really do with an intelligent and independant examination.
