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

Outstanding book!

Extremely informative series. Learned so much from interesting facts otherwise unknown. Another great book. Thank you, Gentlemen!

WOW BILL-you did it again !

Nobody can make history COME ALIVE like Bill Oreilly! Thank you for all of your writing I have learned a lot through them , but this was one of the most well written books I have ever read !

Not long enough.

The book was very interesting and spellbinding. It’s very important to talk about evil and what evil is. Especially in these days where evil is rising, and then enablers are allowing it to rise. The only problem I had with the book was it was not long enough. It left me wanting to hear more stories. Great job.

We as humans have not learned from history.

I love Bill O’Reilly’s ability to share the truth in his books. There were many gasping moments that caused me to stop and pray for humanity.

Evil is prominent in this world

Another well designed educational collaboration. There are those who wish to confront and acknowledge evil, and those who wish to excuse and ignore. Sadly there is no lack of historical content for the book. Some have noted an inordinate amount of focus on periods of American evil in this work. While the criticisms of evil in American history are valid, it’s interesting the amount of time devoted when considering evil across the history of the world. Overall a very important documentation of the history of atrocious and malicious acts and evidence that man is not inherently good and in need of a Savior.
