Killing the SS

By: Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard - contributor

Narrated by: Bill O'Reilly

Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the latest installment in the mega-best-selling Killing series.

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann.

Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters". This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death.

Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the listener. The final chapter is truly shocking.

Very Interesting and Detailed

I really enjoyed the narrative and learned a lot. I just wish it had been read by a professional reader and then it would of gotten 5 stars from me! Fortunately, Mr. O'Reilly's reading style is not totally unbearable but occasionally gets grating with the unnatural pauses and ups and downs in his rendition; no where near the smoothness and cadence produced by professional readers. Why must authors read their own works? It very rarely works.

Bad performance

The story was good but the performance by Bill O’Reilly sometimes left you twisting in the wind. His performance was like a newscast...his pitches were a roller coaster and he sometimes struggled with the script. I won’t listen to any more narrations by Mr. O’Reilly.

A more polished narrator would’ve allowed me to provide a higher rating.

Very Shocking and intense!!!

Love this book! Probably the very best book of the series. Keep it up Bill!

Good book needed different narrator

I was really looking forward to this book by Bill O’Reilly, I’ve loved all his books, but this time he needed a different narrator instead of doing it himself. He was just to monotone. Good research and good book though but one to buy and read yourself.

Great book, amazing recount of events

A great tracking of the events that occurred, before, during, and after the war and the way the Nazi members tried to escape capture and the people that helped them...
