Legends & Lies by Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard

They were more than legends—they were revolutionaries.
Legends & Lies: The Patriots pulls back the curtain on the real men and women behind America’s independence. Created by Bill O’Reilly and written with narrative drive by David Fisher, this book goes beyond textbook summaries to reveal the complex, surprising, and sometimes controversial truths about figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Paul Revere.
Were they heroes or humans with flaws? Through gripping stories, rare historical details, and vivid reconstructions, this book reshapes how readers understand the birth of America. Tied to the Fox Nation docuseries, this is a must-read for history buffs who want more than myths.
