Killing the SS
O'Reilly, Bill
Genre:
Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the latest 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.
