Killer Angels by Michael Shaara as well as the books by his son Jeff are written from character perspectives. It's not fantasy, but great reading.

I think it might depend on if he/she is interested in historical fiction or not. I really liked Killer Angels. Although I haven't read it myself, I've also heard that a biography on Abigail Adams is very good, but I'm not confident about which one was recommended to me. It might have been this one.

Edit: Also, writing that about Abigail Adams got me thinking...
Have you ever seen the John Adams miniseries? It was really, really good. Here's a link to that, too.

I can't stand the wing-nut Republican loons in the US, of which O'Reilly is a perfect example. I am the stuff of their nightmares. Left wing, pro-choice, pro-union, socialist even.

But this is complete pants.

Let me ask you this? Does the same bookshop sell fiction based on the Civil War? Say some famous works like Shiloh by Shelby Foote, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane or The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara?

I bet my bottom dollar it does.

Political bias informing decisions that will come back and bite the liberal left once again.

Fucking hell. What a load of bullshit.
