Killing the Legends

The Lethal Danger of Celebrity

By: Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

In the latest audiobook in the multimillion-selling Killing Series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard tell the larger-than-life stories of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali.

The King is dead. The Walrus is shot. The Greatest is no more.

Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali. These three icons changed not only the worlds of music, film, and sports, but the world itself. Their faces were known everywhere, in every nation, across every culture. And their stories became larger than life—until their lives spun out of control at the hands of those they most trusted.

In Killing the Legends, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard explore the lives, legacies, and tragic deaths of three of the most famous people of the 20th century. Each experienced immense success, then failures that forced them to change; each faced the challenge of growing old in fields that privilege youth; and finally, each became isolated, cocooned by wealth but vulnerable to the demands of those in their innermost circles.

Dramatic, insightful, and immensely entertaining, Killing the Legends is the twelfth title in O’Reilly and Dugard’s Killing series: the most popular series of narrative history in the world, with more than 18 million copies in print.

Hard to stop listening...

A very interesting insight into the darker side of fame. Intriguing stories of 3 famous men who were pushed by others for impure motives.

One of O’Reilly‘s best killing books

I returned some of his other killing books, but not this one. It was very good.

Very Interesting

Like all books in the Killing series, this one is well-researched and well written. However, also like the others, it should be read and not heard. The constant footnote/end footnote interruptions are distracting and annoying.

Outdone

Congratulations to Bill and Martin. Well researched, Factual, Will captivate any age.
Great parallels and stories of the legends that were never known.

Interesting and captivating

Performance was very good and easy to listen to. As will at the O’Reilly books the story is wonderfully told.
