Killing the legends: the lethal danger of celebrity
"The King is dead. The Walrus is shot. The Greatest is no more. Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali. These three icons changed not only the worlds of music, film, and sports, but the world itself. Their faces were known everywhere, in every nation, across every culture. And their stories became larger than life-until their lives spun out of control at the hands of those they most trusted. In Killing the Legends, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard explore the lives, legacies, and tragic deaths of three of the most famous people of the 20th century. Each experienced immense success, then failures that forced them to change; each faced the challenge of growing old in fields that privilege youth; and finally, each became isolated, cocooned by wealth but vulnerable to the demands of those in their innermost circles. Dramatic, insightful, and immensely entertaining, Killing the Legends is the twelfth book in O'Reilly and Dugard's Killing series: the most popular series of narrative history books in the world, with more than 18 million copies in print"--

Killing the killers: the secret war against terrorists
"In the eleventh book in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard reveal the startling, dramatic story of the global war against terrorists. In Killing The Killers, #1 bestselling authors Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard take readers deep inside the global war on terror, which began twenty years ago on September 11, 2001. As the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, the Pentagon burned, and a small group of passengers fought desperately to stop a third plane from completing its deadly flight plan, America went on war footing. Killing The Killers narrates America's intense global war against extremists who planned and executed not only the 9/11 attacks, but hundreds of others in America and around the world, and who eventually destroyed entire nations in their relentless quest for power. Killing The Killers moves from Afghanistan to Iraq, Iran to Yemen, Syria, and Libya, and elsewhere, as the United States fought Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, as well as individually targeting the most notorious leaders of these groups. With fresh detail and deeply-sourced information, O'Reilly and Dugard create an unstoppable account of the most important war of our era. Killing The Killers is the most thrilling and suspenseful book in the #1 bestselling series of popular history books (over 18 million sold) in the world"--

Killing Reagan: the violent assault that changed a presidency
Just two months into his presidency, Ronald Reagan lay near death after a gunman's bullet came within inches of his heart. His recovery was nothing short of remarkable -- or so it seemed. But Reagan was grievously injured, forcing him to encounter a challenge that few men ever face. Could he silently overcome his traumatic experience while at the same time carrying out the duties of the most powerful man in the world? Killing Reagan reaches back to the golden days of Hollywood, where Reagan found both fame and heartbreak, up through the years in the California governor's mansion, and finally to the White House, where he presided over boom years and the fall of the Iron Curtain. But it was John Hinckley Jr.'s attack on him that precipitated President Reagan's most heroic actions

Killing Kennedy: das Ende des amerikanischen Traums
Der clevere US-amerikanische Autor mit eigener Talkshow und spektakulärer Internetseite landete mit "Killing Lincoln" (nicht auf Deutsch) und "Killing Kennedy" in den USA Megaseller. Der Titel verspricht ultimative Wahrheit aufgrund genauester Recherchen. Vorweg sei gesagt, Neues zeigt sich höchstens einzeln im marginalen Bereich, das Wesentliche ist dank unzähliger Veröffentlichungen hinreichend bekannt. Abgedeckt wird der Zeitraum von 1943 (Kennedys Kriegseinsatz) bis 1964 (Jackie Kennedys 1. Interview). Trotz des Bekanntheitsgrads liest sich die glänzend in Szene gesetzte Biografie spannend und stilistisch vergleichbar mit B. Woodward (hier zuletzt "Obamas Kriege", ID-G 5/11), zweifelsohne ihr gröt︢es Plus. Zum 50. Jahrestag der Ermordung erscheinen auch R. Dallek ("John F. Kennedy", BA 11/03), bis heute allgemein als beste Kennedy-Biografie eingestuft, und die gleichnamige "Rowohlt-Monographie" von A. Posener (ID-A 14/13) in Neuausgaben. Mit Schwarz-Weiss-Fotos, Karten, wenigen Quellen, Register, ohne Inhaltsverzeichnis. (2)
