Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot

He’s done it again. Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” self-described “champion bloviator,” and chronicler of presidential assassinations including the bestselling “Killing Lincoln,” just released another presidential thriller.

“Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot,” co-written with Martin Dugard, chronicles the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy with all the suspense and drama of a popular thriller (and, by some accounts, few of the citations of a history book).

“Killing Kennedy” seems destined to enjoy the same success as “Killing Lincoln,” which sold more than 2 million copies since its release a year ago. […]

Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valor

**Exclusive CBC Author Interview with Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha**
“‘It doesn’t get better.’ To us, that phrase nailed one of the essential truths, maybe even the essential truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so glaringly obvious to every soldier who had ever set foot in that place that the name itself — Keating — had become a kind of backhanded joke.”

Much has been made of our latter-day war heroes — of stories like Lone Survivor or American Sniper. […]

Killing Reagan: The Violent Assault that Changed a Presidency

26 years after he left office, Ronald Reagan is still honored by conservatives as more than just another President. He brought an end to the Soviet Empire, ended Carter-era stagflation, and helped bring the Moral Majority into the forefront of American politics.  Reagan remains the greatest idol of the conservative movement, the man who translated decades of political theory and writing into political success — the leader who brought a new morning to America.

Needless to say, […]

Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again

Look at the state of the world right now. It’s a terrible mess, and that’s putting it mildly. There has never been a more dangerous time. The politicians and special interests in Washington, DC, are directly responsible for the mess we are in. So why should we continue listening to them?

It’s time to bring America back to its rightful owners—the American people.

I’m not going to play the same game politicians have been playing for decades—all talk, […]

Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich

When it comes to political and financial scandals touching Bill and Hillary Clinton, it’s what fighter pilots call “a target-rich environment.”  To go back a bit in history, in the 1990s there were some Clinton scandals (Whitewater, cattle futures) that involved money flowing to the Clintons personally, but by and large, what really mattered were the illegal foreign campaign contributions either to a specific Clinton campaign organization or a Democrat National Committee entity.

For example, my co-author and I co-wrote Year of the Rat (Regnery, […]

Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness

Written in a beautiful and engaging style, Seven Men addresses what it means (or should mean) to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life. What does it take to be a true exemplar as a father, brother, husband, leader, coach, counselor, change agent, and wise man? What does it mean to stand for honesty, courage, […]
