I don’t “all or nothing” BOR, but it got to the point where I could no longer watch him on a regular basis. He’s got good qualities and not-so -good, like all of us. I guess what rankles me is the superior “No Spin Zone” moniker that somehow he is above the fray and sees things rightly whereas others don’t.

I never read any of the “Killing” books but I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the “Legends and Lies - the Revolutionary War” book that went along with the TV series. Seemed pretty accurate and informative. If you like American history, you might like it. It actually is written by someone else, not BOR, but I think BOR collaborated and sponsored the whole effort. A good effort I thought. I learned a lot. A lot of fun.

I understand that he’s coming out next year with a “Legends and Lies - the Civil War”. which I anticipate should be good.

Give it a try, see what you think.

Thanks for your interesting and informative response to my post. I will take a look at the Legends and Lies book re the RW, and I’ll be watching for his new one on the CW. I rarely watch TV and I’ve only seen a handful of BOR’s shows, so perhaps I am more critical of him than is warranted.
