Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Patriots

By: Bill O'Reilly, David Fisher

Narrated by: Holter Graham, Bill O'Reilly

The must-have companion to Bill O'Reilly's historical docudrama Legends and Lies: The Patriots, an exciting and eye-opening look at the Revolutionary War through the lives of its leaders

The American Revolution was neither inevitable nor a unanimous cause. It pitted neighbors against each other as loyalists and colonial rebels faced off for their lives and futures. These were the times that tried men's souls: No one was on stable ground, and few could be trusted.

Through the fascinating tales of the first Americans, Legends and Lies: The Patriots reveals the contentious arguments that turned friends into foes and the country into a war zone. From the riots over a child's murder that led to the Boston Massacre to the suspicious return of Ben Franklin, the "First American"; from the Continental Army's first victory under George Washington's leadership to the little-known Southern guerilla campaign of "Swamp Fox" Francis Marion and the celebration of America's first Christmas, The Patriots recreates the amazing combination of resourcefulness, perseverance, strategy, and luck that led to this country's creation.

Told in the same fast-paced, immersive narrative as the first Legends and Lies, The Patriots is an irresistible, adventure-packed journey back into one of the most storied moments of our nation's rich history.

Excellent history

Very informative. Orielly delivers again. Look forward to another in his series! Only problem is deciding which one.

outstanding

Needs to be curriculum in all high schools, important to educate everyone in how we actually came to be.

Another Bill O' Hit!

Great insight on our founding fathers! Loved it! Can't wait to read the Western version!

History lession

I really liked this one. O'Reilly turns out great reads. I liked the history learning. I learned a lot of history I didn't know. I recommend this book for all interested in American History. I can't hardly believe what Americans where able to pull off back in the 1700's for freedom from the strongest, well financed and trained military in the world at that time. How great are Americans. Great read.

Great!!

loved it. fast moving excitement. A book everyone should read or listen to for sure.

Not a bad book

For me I thought the book was good, not great. Bill has definitely had better books. It just at times was slow. But it’s loaded down with accounts of certain battles and facts which is nice. I wouldn’t read it again but if you enjoy this time period go nuts!

revises what you taught.

Many well researched tid-bits cause you
to understand history differently than your elementary school books led you to believe.

Thank you for recognizing my ancestors contribution to the revolution.

It would be wonderful if all history books were written in such a way to draw the readers intrust.


Thank you
