Bill O'Reilly
Listen to "Nine Minutes With Bill O'Reilly" on Spreaker.
In KILLING THE SS: The Hunt for the Worst War Criminals in History (Henry Holt & Co.; Oct. 9, 2018; $30; 304 pages with maps and photographs) once again Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard bring readers into the annals of the World War II era to the global manhunt for the most notorious Nazis in Adolf Hitler's inner circle. After the fall of the Third Reich, combined British, Israeli and American intelligence forces worked ceaselessly to apprehend Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Martin Bormann, Klaus Barbie and Elfriede Huth, among others - the top operatives for Hilter's chilling Final Solution. In the hallmark style of the prior seven books in this national, #1 best-selling series, KILLING THE SS brings the reader on the epic and brave search hunting down Hitler's worst henchmen and women - the very people who deployed the Fuhrer's plans - as they fled for their lives hiding in South America, frequently in plain sight and working menial jobs to throw off pursuers, but usually with the luxury they didn't afford their victims, with their families. The book reunites fans of the series with an in-depth look at this particular facet of WWII - bringing the Nazis to trial and execution for their war crimes.
With a pace like that of a spy thriller, KILLING THE SS follows members of the Mossad, MI6, and the CIA, as they piece together tips to flush out the Nazis on the lam. Isser Harel, Benny Ferencz, Eli Rosenbaum, Simon Wiesenthal and even the future prime minister Yitzhak Shamir are among those who played major roles in history's darkest chapter setting traps and creating extraordinary plans to capture the Reich's masterminds. The book ends with a startling, unexpected development when unlikely partners hunt down the notorious Nazi rocket scientist, Heinz Krug.
