The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018)
Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling 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 reader.
The final chapter is truly shocking.

The delivery was outstanding. In the review I did not mean to hit not a good delivery! It was a GREAT delivery! Book good too!!
Enjoyed the thorough research behind this book. Bill has a way of writing that flows well and keeps your attention.
Killing the SS is every bit as gripping and well-researched as the other books in this series. Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard do a phenomenal job bringing history to life — not just the big events, but the smallest details that make you feel like you’re right there in the moment.The writing is clear, fast-paced, and packed with factual accuracy, making it both educational and hard to put down. Like the rest of the “Killing” books, it strikes the perfect balance between storytelling and historical precision.If you’ve enjoyed the other books in this series, you’ll find this one just as compelling — another must-read for history lovers.
Another non political fast past read!
While the total information was educational I did not enjoy this book. To me it seemed to bounce around too much. I was always going back to see who I was reading about. It was not written as well as other books I have read from O'Reilley. I was disappointed. Names would appear then be gone and then appear again.
