Listeners around the world have thrilled to Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus - riveting works of nonfiction that journey into the heart of the most famous murders in history. Now, from Bill O'Reilly, anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, comes the most epic book of all in this multimillion-selling series: Killing Patton.

General George S. Patton, Jr., died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost 70 years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident - and may very well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton will take listeners inside the final year of the war and recount the events surrounding Patton's tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.

Very good oral read

Albeit exceptionally long, it was very good and interesting. General Patton has always been a hero to me and I will always remember him as such with this book.

Patton's last year

The title "Killing Patton" is a little misleading. This book is really about the last year of Patton's life. But the author is trying to create a series on famous people (Lincoln, Jesus, Kennedy, and now Patton) under the common title, "Killing person's name ". Nevertheless, the authors did a terrific job of making you feel as if you are there observing the final year of Patton's life (and of WWII). Whatever your opinions are about Patton, he is an interesting character and this is both a very interesting as well as educational read. I could easily listen to this book a second time and I'm sure I would pick up on things I missed through the first listen. If you have any interest at all in WWI and/or Patton, you won't be disappointed with this book.

Gripping story: must read

As a super-senior I lived through the second WW reading and hearing stories about General Patton. This book captured my attention and imagination like few others. Can't wait to listen to other books of the series.
