Publisher's summary

The newest installment in the New York Times best-selling 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 eyewitness accounts that further bring the history to life, The Civil War is the action-packed and ultimate follow-up to the best sellers The Patriots and The Real West.

Bill has a definite flair for history!

I found myself not wanting the book to end. This book definitely brought this part of American history to life.

Civil War

Another good synopsis of selected events from the civil war. Interesting to hear the unconfirmed parts. The possible “lies.” Though that word is harsh. It’s all perspectives.

Details and insights I have never heard before.

I found myself viewing maps as the words from the book described the battles and conditions. So real and sobering details. Great book

A Great Read!

A great read. Not a ton of new material here, but still, all of it is presented in a very engaging and entertaining way. A very good overview of the subject matter. Well worth a read!

enjoyable read and even-handed.

it was an enjoyable read. It was in fact difficult to put down at sometimes. often civil war books have a slant politically but this one seemed even handed.

An Enjoyable Book

For those interested in the Civil War, this book is a very good overview. The book proceeds in chronological order and the narrator was very good.

Well written and narrated

Hops around a bit; but, nonetheless a very good way to learn history, especially the lesser known details. Not as good as this author's Rising Sun book; but, much better than his one regarding the Wild West.
