About this ebook

The Revolutionary War as never told before.

This breathtaking installment in Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s mega-bestselling Killing series transports readers to the most important era in our nation’s history: the Revolutionary War. Told through the eyes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Great Britain’s King George III, Killing England chronicles the path to independence in gripping detail, taking the reader from the battlefields of America to the royal courts of Europe.

What started as protest and unrest in the colonies soon escalated to a world war with devastating casualties. O’Reilly and Dugard recreate the war’s landmark battles, including Bunker Hill, Long Island, Saratoga, and Yorktown, revealing the savagery of hand-to-hand combat and the often brutal conditions under which these brave American soldiers lived and fought. Also here is the reckless treachery of Benedict Arnold and the daring guerrilla tactics of the “Swamp Fox” Frances Marion.

A must read, Killing England reminds one and all how the course of history can be changed through the courage and determination of those intent on doing the impossible.

Why would anyone want to read this twisted view of history when the true story is dramatic and interesting enough? Use your own brain sheeple!

As with all O'Reilly's killing books , enthralling and accurate. Close your eyes and you swear you're with George Washington and these other great Patriots. You can hear the sounds of the cannon fire and smell the stench of bodies sprawled across the battlefield. Finally a book that describes the Patriots that fought so gallantly fought so gallantly. Excellent read.
