ABOUT

Now available for the first time in a beautiful boxed set edition, Brian Kilmeade’s extraordinary New York Times bestsellers George Washington’s Secret Six, Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates, Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans, and Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers.

We cannot understand our future without honoring our past. Brian Kilmeade helps us do just that as he brings alive some of the most pivotal moments in American history to a new generation of readers. Now with his bestselling books all in one place, you can revisit the excitement of these almost forgotten slices of history time and time again.

In the fast-paced, page-turning style millions of readers have come to know and love, America's Heroes and History is a timeless collection that promises a thrilling ride through the annals of history—from George Washington’s top-secret spy mission to infiltrate the British military, to Thomas Jefferson’s heroic stand against plundering Muslim pirates, to Andrew Jackson’s miraculous battle to blast open the road to western expansion, to Sam Houston’s pulse-pounding fight for Texas at the Alamo.

For everyone who is proud of our American heritage and who wants to learn more about the history that forged this nation into the land of the free, the Brian Kilmeade collection is finally here.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
