Book Overview
In the next book in the multimillion-selling Killing Series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard tell the larger-than-life stories of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali.
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.Format:Hardcover

Another great book from the KILLING series...
Published by Bruce Blankenship , 10 months ago
I really enjoyed this book having lived through this era,,,,,,,,,,,,many great details and behind the scenes information. I read one of the other reviews about the inaccuracies, however, I was not sure about which ones that reader was referring to. The book is well written, which I give Martin Dugard a lot of credit since I have read other books by him.
O’Reilly states they were killed by their celebrity which wasn’t true in any of these people
Published by Carl O. , 10 months ago
These Killing books have become a joke. O’Reilly even contradicts himself on Elvis’s height. None of these people died the way O’Reilly says they did on page 13. If I were related to one of them, especially John Lennon, I would consider a lawsuit.
