Hitler's Last Days: The Death Of The Nazi Regime And The World's Most Notorious Dictator Read Free Books and Download eBooks
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, this book will have young readers―and grown-ups too―hooked on history.This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that this is a book for CHILDREN? O'Reilly has taken several of his history books and made them more accessible to children.I loved "Killing Patton" and bought "Hitler's Last Days" for my grandson - not for myself.
This was a very informative book. If you knew nothing about this topic this was all encompassing and would certainly broaden your knowledge of the time period. O'Reilly gives insight into the personality of each major player. I have been a student of this era for years and have to say that in reading this one book you will learn things that a person would have to read many books to learn. This is a job well done and O'Reilly cites other writers whose works he used,graciously. Good guy, good book, GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS. Fast and easy read.
I can't say that I love it because I do not love even thinking about Hitler but it needs to be read by students. This is an excellent book and Bill O'Reilly has done a superb job in writing this book. I would hope that it would be in elementary school library collections as well as social studies classrooms. The pictures are quite interesting and the information is vital for Americans to remember. I think it was very well done.
A well written, fact filled book by O'Reilly. This man writes so well that you think you are actually there back then witnessing the actual events. Learned lot of fact about this madman Hitler and his cronies.....one of the best written on this subject....Mr. O'Reilly is just a genius in his research to write such and interesting book.....I have been buying all of his books to read, as it's great to be able to read his imput so dramatic and fact filled, that I forget where I'm at, instead back in time actually seeing this history take place for myself. I greatly admire Bill O'Reilly...I wish I had him for my history teacher, so will just have to be content with his books.
This is another great historical essay from Bill O'Reilly,this time concerning the events and leaders involved in the Second World War. The title is a little misleading as this book covers General Patton more than it does Hitler. I could not help feeling that it used some of the research from Killing Patton. That being said it is a good detailed account of the last days of this horrific global conflict. I recommend it for anyone interested in learning more of the leadership, bravery, missteps and horrors that made World War II the greatest of all wars.
This book is very easy to read and tells a bigger story than Hitler's last days. For example, I learned some things about the Battle of the Buldge which I never knew and some very interesting insights into General Patton which I never realized. While reading this book you will learn a lot without ever realizing it until you are finished. I highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in history or for someone just looking for a great reading book.
This was a gift for my Grandson at his request. He is 15 and at the age where he is interested in History and in WWII. His Mom told me that when the book arrived he was thrilled. He knows (because of good teachers and a military-honoring family) who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. I perused the book before I sent it and it is VERY well written and researched. I would recommend this book highly.
My father fought in World War II and I am a history major for my master's degree so I find history very interesting. This book was hard to put down. It goes into great detail but not too much detail. Anyone interested in World War II would be interested in reading this.
