Bill O’Reilly’s latest book, A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, is filled with American stories of camaraderie, faith and nobility.

Mr. O'Reilly, as known by his TV personality on The O’Reilly Factor, will not accept "no comment" for an answer. While some live their life by the notion that no good deed goes unpunished, Mr. O'Reilly would rather stress that no injustice goes unaccounted for. He presents himself as an independent thinker—which does not always win friends from either side of the political spectrum. His gutsy and original persona renders him a truly American treasure.

In A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, Mr. O’Reilly discusses how he was raised in a Roman Catholic, blue-collar American family. Catholic readers will find humor in and will be able to relate to the recollections of his Catholic school days. This easy-to-read account of Mr. O'Reilly's upbringing explores the experiences that shaped his bold, fresh character.

Mr. O’Reilly explains the origins of his beliefs through personal anecdotes. For example, he refers to watching his father leave every morning for a job he hated. His father was drained by his accounting work— employment that did not challenge him or bring out his true potential. Mr. O'Reilly made a promise to himself that he would instead pursue his talents and passions to the fullest. As host of The O'Reilly Factor, the most watched news program on cable television, Mr. O’Reilly has proven that with hard work and perseverance, dreams can come true. He is exemplary to all Americans as a self-made man.

Mr. O'Reilly marks the steps he took to achieve his wealth and fame. He did not come from a wealthy family. In his youth, he was always willing to be diligent and to take on random jobs, including shoveling snow and painting houses. In addition, he had little parental guidance concerning his career. He also never took any government hand-outs. Mr. O'Reilly provides plain and simple advice: "Learn a skill, work hard.” He believes that if this “mantra were drummed into America's children, this country would be a far better place.”

Mr. O’Reilly’s narrative is raw, yet meticulous. The book is divided into short stories centered on specific themes; each segment can be revisited over and over again for edification and inspiration. He also begins every chapter with a quotation that solidifies the theme. Some of these include words from Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Cus D' Amato and William O'Reilly Sr.. He uses lyrics from Eric Clapton, the Eagles, The Standells, The Beach Boys and St. Brigid's school song. Those who came of age in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s will appreciate his comical and down-to-earth references to the pop-culture of the time.

Mr. O’Reilly reminds the current generation not to give up too easily and to forge true character. The author offers tips and direction to those who may feel they are out of options, unable to control their next move. He states that our forefathers did not intend to create a country where its people would be tempted into succumbing to "the man," or what's been nicknamed the "nanny state." He insists that this country must maintain its free-market principles and must champion equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome.

In conclusion, Mr. O’Reilly wants to help Americans cling to the great traditional values championed by our forefathers. He is determined to combat the many forces that seek to thwart each citizen’s right to pursue freedom and happiness. And for this, he is indeed a bold, fresh piece of humanity.
