About this ebook

The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018)

Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling Killing series

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann.

Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death.

Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader.

The final chapter is truly shocking.

Ratings and reviews

I works have given the book 5 starts, excerpt the flow of the text was not there, and at times just ran together. One event after another. And overlapping. In some places hard to follow. After reading this, I am sorry to be a part of a country that helped these scumbags escape. They, should have all been put to death, in the same manor that they killed the Jews. And let God, forgive then on the other side of where ever they went.

Killing the SS: The Hunt for the Worst War Criminals in History (Bill O‘Reilly‘s Killing Series) by Bill O‘Reilly and Martin Dugard is a well researched and documented history of Nazism. Descriptions in detail of the Nazi culture, the era, their goals, purpose and influence on Germany and The World. Detailed history of Nazi SS escapes, how they were pursued and prosecuted after the end of World War II. Excellent information on the people involved and the methods used to bring these criminals to justice. Horrendous Difficult Truths of the Nazi Regime. 5 Stars

One of the few books that I've read cover to cover in one sitting
