Bill O'Reilly is the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, the highest-rated cable news show in the country. He is the author of the megabestsellers Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing Patton. He is, perhaps, the most-talked-about political commentator in America.
David Fisher is the author of eighteen New York Times bestsellers, written on a wide variety of topics. He is the only writer ever to have a novel, a work of nonfiction, and a reference book offered simultaneously by the Book of the Month Club, as well as the only reporter ever given complete access to the FBI's forensic laboratory. His work has also appeared in most major magazines and many newspapers. He lives in New York with his wife, two sons, and exuberant Chihuahua, Willy. You can sign up for email updates here.
