This program features an introduction read by Bill O’Reilly.
The Revolutionary War as never told before.
The breathtaking latest installment in Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s mega-bestselling Killing series transports listeners 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 listener 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 guerilla tactics of the “Swamp Fox” Frances Marion.
A must listen, 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.

Amazing book Thank you Mr. O’Reilly and Mr. Duggard. Excellent, forthright account. As a daughter of the Revolution, I appreciate every word written. What sacrifices these brave men made is beyond awe inspiring.
Great study of the founding fathers and some villians too. The person who said the book was poorly written doesn’t know what he/she is talking about. Probably just doesn’t like the man which is fine. We bought the book the minute it came out and we read it together for the day. We do that for most books and some of O’Reilly didn’t thrill me but this one does. Maybe because of all the crazy stuff with the statues, changing names of our schools, wanted to see if it is true the left wants to change the constitution. Not sure about that but the book is…
