Hitler's Last Days: The Death of the Nazi Regime and the World's Most Notorious Dictator - Hardcover

"A thoroughly documented, visually rich presentation." --Kirkus Reviews on Kennedy's Last Days "All the suspense and drama of a popular thriller." --Husna Haq, The Christian Science Monitor on Killing Kennedy "Immersively written . . . Mr. O'Reilly and Mr. Dugard succeed in investing a familiar national tragedy with fresh anguish . . . A powerful historical pr cis." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times on Killing Kennedy "This thrillerlike adaptation captures the excitement of the Union victory in the Civil War and the shock and horror that quickly followed as the country learned of Lincoln's death and sought revenge on his assassins. The popularity of O'Reilly's adult title will drive interest in this version, but it definitely stands alone and will find an audience among general readers and report writers." --School Library Journal on Lincoln's Last Days "Accessible to younger readers." --Booklist on Lincoln's Last Days "If Grisham wrote a novel about April 1865 . . . it might well read like Killing Lincoln." --Peter J. Boyer, Newsweek on Killing Lincoln

By early 1945, the destruction of the German Nazi State seems certain. The Allied forces, led by American generals George S. Patton and Dwight D. Eisenhower, are gaining control of Europe, leaving German leaders scrambling. Facing defeat, Adolf Hitler flees to a secret bunker with his new wife, Eva Braun, and his beloved dog, Blondi. It is there that all three would meet their end, thus ending the Third Reich and one of the darkest chapters of history. Hitler's Last Days is a gripping account of the death of one of the most reviled villains of the 20th century-a man whose regime of murder and terror haunts the world even today. Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's historical thriller, Killing Patton, and this book will have young readers-and grown-ups too-hooked on history.
