Confronting Evil

Assessing the Worst of the Worst

De: Bill O'Reilly, Josh Hammer

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

By the #1 bestselling history author in the world, Bill O'Reilly comes a dramatic confrontation with good, evil, and the worst people who ever lived.

The concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.

Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.

By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.

Prepare yourself to listen to the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

"[What stands out is] Petkoff's bravura performance, the fine sound quality, and the exceptional direction and editing. Indeed, this is an impressive audiobook" —AudioFile on Hitler's Last Days

Best book ever on Evil

Loved the detail of the history
of evil. Amassing the atrocities of mankind.
This may be his best book yet.

The narrative

The narrator is telling me a story and I feel like I am right there as he’s telling me what is going on.

Drug cartels

The facts were overwhelming that evil is out there. We must confront it with vigilance.

Probably one of Bill O'Reilly's best Works

This book is probably one of Bill O'Reilly's best works, and I learned some interesting things listening to it. For example, Mao the evil dictator of China, was far worse than I previously thought. There's probably a special place in Hell for him! The Robber Barons were also pretty bad; thank God for Pres. Teddy Roosevelt who stopped them.

We must confront EVIL to remain a Free Nation Under GOD.

Love the format for this series of books. Easy to follow, years of research packed into the pages for us readers. Patriots the idea and concept of America can never stop moving forward!

No better historian

O’Reilly has a way of telling stories with calm specific facts that are refreshing and entertaining.

ok but not the best

informative, but why no mention of the evil in many of our politicians. they send thousands to their deaths by falsified truths
