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. 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.

Legends and Lies: The Civil War. First off, let me say that I have read numerous other books by Bill O'Reilly and have been very pleased with them. This book, however, is the exception. The book is based on the premise that the war (it was not a civil war by definition) was all about slavery. It was not. Like most wars everywhere, it was about money. Lincoln himself expressed concern that the nation could not survive without the money coming from southern tariffs. The north could not allow the South to import/export through Charleston and New Orleans and not pay the excessive tariffs to the north. Lincoln himself wanted to send freed blacks to Liberia. Several northern states passed laws prohibiting freed blacks from living there.Slavery only became a real issue in 1862 (an election year) when Lincoln was concerned about his party staying in control.The book is also poorly organized with pictures scattered throughout, some with erroneous captions, disrupting the flow of what is going on.Another aspect is that the Stars and Bars was not the South's national flag, as was stated, it was the battle flag for the Army of Northern Virginia.In short, the book is not worth the money and effort that it takes to plow through such a poorly written and organized story. If possible, I would like my money back!I was greatly disappointed in this book As a long time Civil War student, I was greatly disappointed in this book. It is replete with historical inaccuracies, i.e. "All men are created equal" is in the Declaration of Independence and not the Constitution as stated in the book. Lee said "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it," at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862 and not at the Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864 as inferred in the book. It is also poorly edited. A photograph of a Union General is described as being one of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. I stopped reading early on. I'd like my money back please.Not this one I've enjoyed all the others but not this one. Maybe because I'm a civil war nut and comparing this one with any of the kazoodles - it doesn't measure up.
