Culture Warrior - Bill O’Reilly
Book Description
Bill O’Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a
Culture Warrior—and in this book he lives up to the title
brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his
command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce
culture war between those who embrace traditional values and
those who want to change America into a
“secular-progressive” country. This is a conflict that
differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative
divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even
higher.
In Culture Warrior, Bill O’Reilly defines this war and
analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and
secular-progressive camps. He examines why the nation’s
motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“From Many, One”) might
change to “What About Me?”; dissects the forces driving
the secular-progressive agenda in the media and behind the
scenes, including George Soros, George Lakoff, and the ACLU;
and dives into matters of race, education, and the war on
terror. He also shows how the culture war has played out in
such high-profile instances as The Passion of the Christ,
Fahrenheit 9/11, the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and
the embattled place of religion in public life—with special
emphasis on the war against Christmas. Whatever controversies
are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them—and no
one will be in the dark about which side he’s on.
Culture Warrior showcases Bill O’Reilly at his most
eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul
of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the
traditional values that have served this country so well for so
long.

The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in America Book Description
Get Bill's second #1 best-selling book! In "The No Spin
Zone: Confrontations With the Powerful and Famous in
America", Bill turns his searing spotlight on George W.
Bush, Hillary Clinton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and more.
Bill delivers another strong dose of no-holds-barred advice
and unvarnished truth for America as he champions "truth,
common sense, and decency."
In "The No Spin Zone," Bill is even madder than
when he wrote his first non-fiction bestseller "The
O'Reilly Factor." He's mad because things have gone from
bad to worse, in politics, in Hollywood, in every social
stratum of the nation.
True to its title, The No-Spin Zone cuts through the
rhetoric that some of O'Reilly's most infamous guests have
spewed to expose what's really on their minds, while sharing
plenty of his own emphatic counterpoints along the way.
"All I ask is for powerful people to respond honestly
to the questions, and if they can't, explain why," says
Bill. In The No Spin Zone, he writes about many issues
including the death penalty and taxes, and personalities
including President Bush, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Hillary Clinton
and other. In addition, Bill excerpts past interviews with
various memorable guests, including:
James Carville on Bill Clinton, Dr. Laura on working
mothers, Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders on
sex education, Puff Daddy on rap music, Susan Sarandon on
police brutality, Al Sharpton on boycotts, Dan Rather on news
stories the media overlooks

Who's Looking Out for You? Book Description
In classic O' Reilly style "Who's Looking Out for
You?" exposes the people and organizations that aren't
protecting your interests.
Here's just a small example of what's inside the book:
The Government:
"Corruption, incompetence and political correctness have
spread like the Ebola virus throughout our federal
system...."
Elite Media:
"The sad truth is that most high-profile media people are
looking out for themselves and themselves alone.... You will
see them in their lavish vacation homes in the Hamptons, or
Aspen, or Loudoun County, Virginia. You will not see them at
Wal-Mart."
The Catholic Church:
"The self-destruction of the American Catholic Church
leaves the field wide open for the antispirituality forces to
march in and do what they will.... The devil and his disciples
are thrilled with this series of events, and Jesus must be
weeping."
The Criminal Justice System:
"If lawyers are allowed to deceive, fabricate, smear and
intimidate without consequence, where is the fairness? Our
criminal justice system has become a farce...."
But that's not all.
"Who's Looking Out for You?" also offers sound
advice on how to deal with life's challenges so you can tell
who is REALLY looking out for you--and who is a fraud. Bill
writes, "If you are selfish, shallow, money-grubbing,
manipulative, callous, violent, petty, envious, gossipy or
self-destructive, you will soon be on your own."
Publisher's Weekly calls the book "an inspirational guide
to life's most basic quandaries."
Find out why the book has spent 22 weeks (and counting) on New
York Times Best Seller list -- and why over 1 million
copies already have been printed (and more than 800,000 have
been sold)!

The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life Book Description
Get Bill's first #1 best-selling book! This million-copy New
York Times bestseller brings populist common sense and
rock-solid honesty to the modern news arena.
"The O'Reilly Factor," Bill's first non-fiction
book, sold over a million copies and spent fourteen weeks at
the top of the New York Times bestseller list!
In the book Bill goes deep to reveal his strong beliefs about
what is right and wrong in all areas of current American life.
"The O'Reilly Factor" is at once tough and funny,
just like Bill. Bill on Al Sharpton and David Duke: "If
God has a sense of humor, as I believe he does, [then those
two] will be sharing a sauna in the netherworld. With one
thermostat."
O'Reilly makes his arguments in that famous No Spin style. The
Feds spent $230,000 for a study of housefly sex habits,
$27,000 for an analysis of why prisoners want to escape, and
$100,000 to find out why Americans don't like beets. The
Government could have saved us a lot of money if they had
listened to Bill: "Houseflies mate when no one is
looking. Prisoners don't like prison. Beets don't taste
good."
The critics:
Bill O'Reilly, this brash New York guy with a brash show and a
brash book, is becoming a huge media star.
New York Observer
He is a complicated man, at once belligerent and
self-effacing, ambitious and determined to remain humble. He
is Everyman on a barstool, mad as hell, but with a wink.
Newsweek
This book bristles with assumptions, assessments, and
attitudes that will either have you bobbing your head in
agreement or shaking it in disbelief. No wonder O'Reilly's
ratings are rising the way the stocks once did.
Forbes
He's softhearted and enraged in equal measures. He's
hard-driven and bemused by where his drive got him. He's the
male sphinx as TV blabbermouth.
James Ellroy, GQ

Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Television and Murder Book Description
What goes on behind the news is the news in Bill O'Reilly's
first novel, Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Murder and
Television. The engaging thriller centers around a string of
murders being carried out in almost ritualistic fashion
against the major players of Global News Network (GNN) and
miscellaneous others involved in the television news industry.
First it's a loutish White House correspondent who gets it
with a silver spoon in Martha's Vineyard. Next comes a vice
president of the network. As the list grows, so does the
pressure on police to stop the killer before he strikes again.
Enter Tommy O'Malley, a touch New York detective who has his
own ideas about how to keep the streets clean. His work--and
life--is complicated by the persistence of a charming young
reporter named Ashley Van Buren. In her "Crimetime"
column, she dishes a full serving of innuendo and speculation
to an audience hungry for just such fare. O'Malley looks like
a terrific source to her, and he has to admit she looks pretty
good herself.
The real story in Those Who Trespass, however, is that
"the way it is," as Walter Cronkite would have said,
is not a very nice way at all. O'Reilly, a veteran of Fox and
an Emmy winner himself, reveals the skullduggery that goes on
under the anchor desk and on the other side of the camera:
correspondents "bigfooting" others' stories, young
climbers doing anything to secure the anchor seat, and ratings
outfits fixing the game to suit themselves. Once you've read
this, you will understand the part of the news that's not fit
to print.
