Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies: The Patriots: The Patriots
Description
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 warzone. 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. Heavily
illustrated with spectacular artwork that brings this important history to
vivid life, and 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. Read
