With three straight #1 bestsellers and more than 4 million copies of his books in print, the most powerful traditional force in the American media now takes off his gloves in the ongoing struggle for America's heart and soul.
Synopsis:
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 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.

A Special Message from Bill on Culture Warrior
My 4th non-fiction book, Culture Warrior, is now available. As you might know, it's called Culture Warrior and it chronicles the intense war between my side (traditionalists) and the secular-progressive corps. Just a quick definition: Traditionalists believe America is a basically a noble country. We have flaws but at our core, the USA is a positive force in this world, a country that has done enormous good. Secular-progressives (S-P's), however, believe the United States is a flawed nation in need of a drastic overhaul.
The media is firmly in the S-P camp and it will be very interesting to see how vehemently this book is attacked. It's already started in Vanity Fair magazine and in Publisher's Weekly (whose publisher, by the way, is a major donor to S-P political figures). Of course, we will keep score on who is fair and who is unfair concerning the book. I expect to be greatly amused.
My previous three adult non-fiction books all hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list (the paper declined to review any of them, which is just as well). The Factor for Kids book, also, was the bestselling book of its kind in 2005. I can't thank you all enough for making this possible.
Culture Warrior is by far my most controversial and pointed book. In fact, it is downright fierce in its exposure of what is going on behind the scenes in America and how the S-P movement is making gains in dramatically changing this country. Names are named, and unimpeachable research nails down my points. You may not agree with me on some things, but you'll learn an enormous amount about what's really going on in the USA by reading this book, and much of it will make you angry.
So I hope you'll consider Culture Warrior.
