BILL O’REILLY’S NEW BOOK
CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENTS
No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden
By Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard
In CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENTS: No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden (St. Martin’s Press, on sale date September 10, 2024, $32.00), Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard take the measure of every president who has sat in the Oval Office. From the father of our country, George Washington, to our current president Joe Biden, the authors weave fresh stories and tantalizing facts in the same lively, informative style that has made their legendary Killing books the most popular narrative history series in the world.
There have been 45 different men who served 46 presidencies in our nation’s history and have left lasting legacies and impacts on America - some powerfully relevant today, some best forgotten. Many presidential reputations changed and evolved over time. But regardless of shifting political fortunes or how historians view each president, all shaped the country in important and unexpected ways.
Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard are renowned for their extensive research. In CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENTS, the authors uncover many never-before-seen historical facts based on private correspondence and newly discovered documentation. The authors present 45 entertaining and insightful portraits of each president, including:
*Who served the country’s needs best?
*Which ones undermined the founding fathers’ ideals?
*What rivalries and controversies shaped their presidencies?
*The surprising roles many first ladies played in history
*No Spin Assessments: Who was the best? The worst? Who had little impact?
CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENTS isn’t only about politics. The authors delve into the lives of these leaders: What did they like to eat, drink, and recreate when not working? How well did they make decisions under pressure? What are their lasting legacies? 2024 will be one of the most consequential elections in American history. O’Reilly and Dugard’s book is perfectly timed to delight all readers of history, politics and current affairs.
