The must-have companion to Bill O'Reilly's historical docudrama Legends and Lies: The Patriots; an exciting and eye-opening look at the Revolutionary War through the lives of its leadersThe American Revolution was neither inevitable nor a unanimous cause. It pitted neighbors against each other; as loyalists and colonial rebels faced off for their lives and futures. These were the times that tried men's souls: no one was on stable ground and few could be trusted. Through the fascinating tales of the first Americans; Legends and Lies: The Patriots reveals the contentious arguments that turned friends into foes and the country into a warzone. From the riots over a child's murder that led to the Boston Massacre to the suspicious return of Ben Franklin; the "First American;" from the Continental Army's first victory under George Washington's leadership to the little known southern Guerilla campaign of "Swamp Fox" Francis Marion; and the celebration of America's first Christmas; The Patriots recreates the amazing combination of resourcefulness; perseverance; strategy; and luck that led to this country's creation. Heavily illustrated with spectacular artwork that brings this important history to vivid life; and told in the same fast-paced; immersive narrative as the first Legends and Lies; The Patriots is an irresistible; adventure-packed journey back into one of the most storied moments of our nation's rich history.
