Bill O’Reilly is an American writer, journalist, and right-wing political commentator, and television host for numerous American TV news networks, including CBS, ABC and Fox News. Since 1998, he has authored and co-authored 30 books. His Killing series, about the ostensibly controversial deaths of famous figures in history, includes Killing Lincoln (2011), Killing Kennedy (2012) Killing Jesus (2013), and Killing Reagan (2015). The most recent is Killing Crazy Horse (2020), about wars between European settlers and Native Americans.
Known to his men by the nickname “Old Blood and Guts” (2), George S. Patton (1885-1945) graduated from Westpoint, before being involved in the 1916 Pancho Villa Expedition in Mexico. He was then part of the United States tanks corps in World War I. In World War II, Patton commanded the American Seventh Army in the invasion of Sicily, where he was the first Allied commander to reach the town of Messina. After D-Day, June 1944, he commanded the US Third Army in its push across France, liberating encircled US forces in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.
Following German surrender in April 1945, Patton became military governor of Bavaria. Eisenhower relieved Patton of his command for criticizing the Allied policy of denazification, and for his comments about wanting war with the Soviet Union.
