'CHAOTIC' TIMES
How will history see today's times? "Chaotic," O'Reilly predicts. "There are a lot of problems with technology overwhelming the human condition. That's changing the way people learn, the way people behave. It's changing everything, and society hasn't caught up with that. " He points out that his parent and grandparents, who live through the Depression and World War II, were "dialed into" the issues and events of their day, making them more engaged in the world. Today, he worries, most Americans "don't know anything -- and they don't care to know."
While he and Dugard are well into their next historical work, he's mum on the subject. In the past, other authors looking to emulate his success have gotten wind of his plans and published ahead of him. It's likely to be a well-known historical figure who commands enough inherent interest to generate more seven-figure book sales - which probably rules out James K. Polk and other lesser-knowns that O'Reilly admires. - (bold and color emphasis added)
And if his next effort sparks a little controversy and stirs up some dust, well, that's all in a day's work for Bill O'Reilly.

Note: The subjects of O'Reilly's books to date have been --- presidents Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan (to be released September 22nd), plus Patton and Jesus.
I wonder who he will feature in his next book? Hmmmm?
