He's written a ton of great reads, but none solely about the wives, just the Presidents.

That's so strange ? My sister said "it was a good book you should read it". So, right now I'm reading 'Killing of Lincoln' and thought I would line up that one next went to amazon. Bunch of them, but, not one by O'Reilly.

I found one that I went ahead and bought . I like Bill O'

Reilly. This book is by a man that sure doesn't. LOL

'Sweet Jesus I Hate Bill O'Reilly'. Anxious to see what his beef is.

My fave was Killing The Legends about John Lennon, Elvis, and Muhammad Ali.

All of O'Reilly's "Killing" books were co written with Martin Dugard who did most of the writing.

First Women by Kate Anderson Brower is a good one - love her books.

The book called " Killing Patton " was good read .

Although written by someone else , the book called " George Washington's Secret Six " was also very interesting

Have read several of the 'killing' books. I like learning a bit more about historical events, without it being so deep that I can't follow the story. The Jesus one was my particular favorite because it explained society at that time, not just the part I knew from the Bible.

Re: Bill O'Reilly

SharkE — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 01:03:36 GMT

That's very true. I bought the 'Jesus' book. He explains everything for the everyday common person.

Very understanable. Don't have to have a college degree.

Roman politics and others who were afraid of losing their standing in Rome. Bad time to live I'm afraid.

I also have the 'Hitler' books since I'm interested in

WW II. The one that is at Walmart right now I bought too. 'Confronting Evil'

Ollie's used to carry his books. I saw the one about the fighter, John Lennon & Elvis. Didn't interest me.

Did you Google his name? Or, books by Bill O'Reilly? You might find what you're looking for.

Years ago a former WH Butler (?) wrote a book about the WH that was very good. I want to say his name was J.B. West. Don't ask me where I got that name, I do remember in the book, it talked about Mrs. Kennedy saying, "Mr. West....." So that may be his name.

I wouldn't rely on Bill for historical accuracy.

Re: Bill O'Reilly

kimbobimbo — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:02:57 GMT

@CalminHeart I couldn't agree with you more! It's kind of scary that anyone would take what he writes as the truth. Yikes.

Bill is a smart man and knows is weakness' which is why he as historians and others write the books with him. Not ghost writers but it is widely known who they are.

Just got his book Confronting the Presidents, haven't cracked it open yet. I usually check out his podcasts most days.

A really good read is "In the President's Secret Service" by Ronald Kessler, it's old but I found it to be great entertainment.

@beckyb1012 I have listened to ALL his "killing" books and was very impressed with his historical accuracy for exactly the reasons you mention. Enjoyed every one and learned a lot!

Re: Bill O'Reilly

SharkE — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 23:16:03 GMT

The lesser known names may do the work, but, his name puts it over. As long as it gets me to read

interesting subjects and keeps my interest.......

I would never read anything Bill wrote no matter who helped him.

I choose where my money goes and it's not to profit someone like him.

I adore him, but you have your choice what to read and whom to give your money. We all do.
