SynopsisThe Revolutionary War as never told before. This breathtaking installment in Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's mega-bestselling Killing series transports readers to the most important era in our nation's history: the Revolutionary War. Told through the eyes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Great Britain's King George III, Killing England chronicles the path to independence in gripping detail, taking the reader from the battlefields of America to the royal courts of Europe. What started as protest and unrest in the colonies soon escalated to a world war with devastating casualties. O'Reilly and Dugard recreate the war's landmark battles, including Bunker Hill, Long Island, Saratoga, and Yorktown, revealing the savagery of hand-to-hand combat and the often brutal conditions under which these brave American soldiers lived and fought. Also here is the reckless treachery of Benedict Arnold and the daring guerrilla tactics of the "Swamp Fox" Frances Marion. A must read, Killing England reminds one and all how the course of history can be changed through the courage and determination of those intent on doing the impossible.

To the point!!!
Fantastic book which was recommended by my 96 year old, UK WWII tail gunner friend. The detail and depth is incredible. Should be read by the 1609 and 1775 group thinks. Someone might just learn something.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Typical O'Rielly Historical Work
As always, O'Reilly does not fail to both inform and entertain with the great amount of historical background that is always included in his Killing Series books. It does not just cover the event but the times behind the event.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Clever Way to View American History
This is a clever way to view U.S. History. Killing England is, basically, another way of saying American History. It is the Colonies of America tossing off the tyranny of English Monarch rule (hence, Killing England). Instead of all the Founders, it mostly focuses on a few of the Founding Fathers of America (such as, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and such). As far as history goes, Mr. O'Reilly is anything but boring! He presents history (here, again, U.S. History) in a lively, interesting manner. Wished he had been my teacher when I was a kid!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

If not for George Washington's unwavering focus, we'd have a King.
This is a very readable history that details the years of struggle George Washington endured to finally defeat the British. The book arrived on time and in perfect condition.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

In depth history but written in a light and fast-paced way.
Like all the "Killing..." books, this offers insights and details most history books gloss over. Individuals become less iconic and more human as not only their positive attributes explored but also their personal struggles, such as indiscretions and other vices. Also, seemingly unrelated historical events and characters are linked in fascinating ways.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The best history book I have ever read!
This is the best history book I have ever read. O'Reilly and Dugard make the pages come alive...it is written like a suspense-thriller! I could not put it down, even though I knew how the story ended, with American victory!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
