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

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

Loved this book

I enjoyed this book so much. It was well written and full of great history. I couldn't put it down! Well done, Mr. O'Reilly!

The reality of evil.

This book is hard to put down. The subject matter is presented in a manner that gradually raises your consciousness of those with evil intentions. Knowledge is power. This book has the power to change your life in a positive manner.

Very well researched

I found the book to be an important, informative read. I would recommend this book to all, as we all need to understand the evil that walks this earth.

Enlightning Information

I learned a lot of new facts about our evil people that have been in society. Very well written.

A good listen and informative

I learned some new information but would have liked some different choices of evil I see in the world like George Soros and his Democratic Party and the arms like Antifa and others. But that’s probably a separate book as this one is all about history. All and all this was a good book and I enjoyed it. Just wanted to hear something new. This information was something I already knew, just presented in a different way.

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.
