SynopsisThe next installment in the New York Times #1 bestselling companion series to the Fox historical docudrama, Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies ; The Civil War is a pulse-quickening account of the deadliest war in American history. From the birth of the Republican Party to the Confederacy's first convention, the Underground Railroad to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Civil War reveals the amazing and often little known stories behind the battle lines of America's bloodiest war and debunks the myths that surround its greatest figures, including Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, General Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Stonewall Jackson, John Singleton Mosby, Ulysses S. Grant, Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth, William Tecumseh Sherman, and more. An epic struggle between the past and future, the Civil War sought to fulfill the promise that "all men are created equal." It freed an enslaved race, decimated a generation of young men, ushered in a new era of brutality in war, and created modern America. Featuring archival images, eyewitness accounts, and beautiful artwork that further brings the history to life, The Civil War is the action-packed and ultimate follow-up to the #1 bestsellers The Patriots and The Real West ., The newest installment in the New York Times #1 bestselling companion series to the Fox historical docudrama, Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies ; The Civil War is a pulse-quickening account of the deadliest war in American history From the birth of the Republican Party to the Confederacy's first convention, the Underground Railroad to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Civil War reveals the amazing and often little known stories behind the battle lines of America's bloodiest war and debunks the myths that surround its greatest figures, including Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, General Robert E.

Accurate
I just turned 70 and I rated this book in the top 4 books I've ever read. Great detail makes this book compelling and the variety of people involved keeps your interest high, especially if you're into the setup of the Civil War.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very good read
As usual, Bill O'Reilly's books are all worth the time to read. He shed's light where it never was and ties it all together in a very engaging and entertaining way. I my opinion all three of his "Legends and Lies" books and his "Killing......" series should be required reading for a High School diploma in the US. For non Christians even Killing Jesus is an excellent insight in history and human behavior in that era.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Truth with explaination.
It is history that many people do not know. If you do not know what has happened before in history, you will most likely commit the same mistakes. It is told in a more interresting format than a history class.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Civil War history
Great book. A must read. Need to be used as an accurate school text book, then you wouldn't have all those liberal Democrat's taking down the Civil War statues. This is history worth preserving!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

True and factual
I get so frustrated with schools now that teach a politically correct version of history. They are rewriting it as they go. This book simply states facts. I appreciate that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

have heard some information that is contradictory
It reads like a history book, since it is a history book. Other authors have offered contradictory information about the events during this time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
