KILLING THE SS:THE HUNT FOR THE WORST WAR CRIMINALS IN HISTORY BY BILL O'REILLY & MARTIN DUGARD is the latest in Mr.O'Reilly's "killing" series. This time his focus is on four of the worst and most notorious war criminals in WWII : Adolf Eichmann, the German who coordinated and organized the "Final Solution" resulting in the deaths of millions of Jews. Martin Bormann, Hitler's right hand man and official successor as leader of the Reich . Klaus Barbie SS and Gestapo , who tortured and killed countless adults and children in France to gather intelligence. Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death. Countless horrific experiments were conducted by him. These men & several women are considered among the worst of the worst. We read in the book about how these men and women operated and the atrocities that they committed during WWII on not only Jews but Gypsies, homesexuals and special needs people. We read how Mossad, Israel's newly formed spy network tracked down an brought to trial most of these people. We follow the Nazi Hunters, the Jewish and non Jewish citizens took and used their skills and other people's skills and knowledge to track these people down.
This is a very graphic book,but history has shown us that the Nazi's were not a very nice people. They were monsters and they tortured and murdered millions of men,women and children,some of them , fortunately are still alive today. This is HISTORY & this book takes the Holocaust and puts it out there for all to see.
As with all of Mr.O'reilly's "(killing) books, the book has been greatly researched and put together very well and very organized. I am a huge fan of history and Mr.O'Reilly and Mr.Dugard have put together another great book of people, places and events in a manner that is very organized and very informative in a format that makes you start the book and not stop till you have finished reading the credits! Another excellent book!
