Synopsis

Listeners around the world have been enthralled by Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus—riveting works of nonfiction that journey into the heart of the most famous murders in history.

Now from Bill O'Reilly, iconic anchor of The O'Reilly Factor, comes the most epic audiobook of all in this multimillion-selling series: Killing Patton.

General George S. Patton, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost seventy years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident—and may very well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton takes readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the events surrounding Patton's tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on October 16, 2014

Goodreads review by Thomas on October 08, 2014

I've probably read 30-40 books on WWII, and I still learned a lot from this one. One of the main differences between this one and the rest of the O'Reilly "Killing" books is that he doesn't really answer the question (nor is it his intent). The book does a great job of capturing a lot of the "macro"......more

Goodreads review by Jean on September 27, 2014

This is the first time I have read a book written by Bill O’Reilly.

Bill O'Reilly, in his outstanding history of not only the ver......more

Goodreads review by Clif on February 13, 2017

I am not a fan of Bill O'Reilly's TV show. But I'll grant that he has a knack for writing "popular" books about interesting events in history. Numerous acquaintances of mine have recommend The Killing Series of history books to me. This is the first of that series that I've read, and I'll have to ad......more
