Wielotygodniowy numer 1 na liście bestseller�w 'New York Timesa'! 1,5 miliona egzemplarzy sprzedanych w USA! Kto stał za śmiercią generała Pattona w grudniu 1945 roku? George S. Patton junior, agresywny, zdeterminowany, jeden z najbardziej kontrowersyjnych dow�dc�w II wojny światowej. Wieczny wojownik, błyskotliwy strateg, bezwzględnie szczery, często obcesowy. Stał się niewygodny dla polityk�w, gdy 8 maja 1945 roku, w dniu zakończenia wojny w Europie, zaszokował słuchaczy na konferencji prasowej, ogłaszając, że: 'Będziemy potrzebowali nieustającej pomocy Wszechmogącego, jeśli mamy żyć na jednym świecie ze Stalinem i jego morderczymi zbirami (...). Pokonaliśmy jednego wroga ludzkości, ale umocniliśmy drugiego, znacznie gorszego'. Kilka miesięcy p�źniej, tuż przed powrotem do Stan�w Zjednoczonych, Patton zginął na skutek tajemniczego wypadku samochodowego. Przez ponad 70 lat podejrzewano, że jego śmierć nie była przypadkowa. Na kartach Zabić Pattona autorzy opisują potężnych wrog�w, kt�rzy mogli usunąć niewygodnego generała. Bill O`Reilly, wielka gwiazda telewizji Fox News, i historyk Martin Dugard opisują wkład generała George`a S. Pattona juniora w zwycięstwo aliant�w i rolę, jaką jego 3. Armia odegrała w pokonaniu III Rzeszy. Pokazują też, że na polu polityki Patton musiał stawić czoło przeciwnikom znacznie groźniejszym i bezwzględnym niż na polach bitew. Śmierć Pattona, zaciekłego wroga komunizmu i imperialnych ambicji Rosji, zyskuje obecnie niebezpiecznie aktualne znaczenie. Słowa z maja 1945 roku: 'Dzisiaj powinniśmy powiedzieć Rosjanom, że mają iść w cholerę, zamiast ich słuchać, kiedy nam m�wią, że mamy się cofnąć', są niestety zn�w na czasie. Tym bardziej warto poznać kulisy tajemniczej śmierci generała Pattona.
Dallas, 22. November 1963 – 12:30 Uhr: Lee Harvey Oswald späht durch das Zielfernrohr seines Gewehrs. John F. Kennedys Kopf erscheint kaum einen Meter entfernt. Oswald weiß, dass er kaum Zeit haben wird. Zwei Schüsse wird er sicher abgeben können – drei, wenn er wirklich schnell ist. Sein Ziel klar vor Augen, atmet er aus und drückt den Abzug. Der erste Schuss trifft den Präsidenten im Nacken. Kennedy sackt leicht zusammen, sein Rückenkorsett, das er wegen seiner Kriegsverletzung dauernd tragen muss, hält ihn aber aufrecht. Beunruhigt wendet Jackie sich ihrem Mann zu. Sie greift nach seiner Schulter und schaut ihm ins Gesicht, um zu sehen, was los ist. Kaum fünf Sekunden sind seit dem ersten Schuss vergangen, da schlägt die zweite Kugel in Kennedys Hinterkopf ein und reißt eine klaffende Wunde. Reflexartig fährt seine Hand hoch zur Stirn, doch ein großer Teil der Schädeldecke ist weggeschleudert worden.
Auf der Grundlage zeitgenössischer Quellen und der biblischen Überlieferung entwerfen die Bestsellerautoren Bill O’Reilly und Martin Dugard ein groß angelegtes historisches Panorama um Leben und Sterben von Jesus von Nazareth. Sie veranschaulichen die umwälzenden Ereignisse, die einen fundamentalen historischen Wandel in Gang setzten – die Christianisierung der römischen Welt.

Az 1960-as évek elején John F. Kennedy, a korszak férfiideálja és az Amerikai Egyesült Államok 35. elnöke, óriási népszerűségnek örvend. Felesége, Jackie pedig bájával, stílusérzékével ejti rabul a világot. Kennedy elnöksége sikerre ítéltetett, akárcsak az Arthur-legendában Camelot városa: az idilli boldogság oázisa reményt és optimizmust jelent a hidegháború sivatagában. Ám ötven évvel ezelőtt, 1963. november 22-én a dallasi puskalövések az egész nemzetet megrendítik, napokig szomorúság és zavartság uralkodik az országban. Mi történt? Ki ölte meg az elnököt? Milyen erők állhattak a háttérben? Sokféle találgatás kelt szárnyra azóta. A hidegháború kiéleződésével Kennedy több befolyásos ellenfelet is szerzett magának, például Nyikita Hruscsov szovjet vezetőt, Fidel Castro kubai diktátort és Allen Dullast, a CIA igazgatóját. Ezen kívül bátyja, Robert Kennedy igazságügy-miniszter szigorú intézkedései a szervezett bűnözés felszámolására tovább növelte azok számát, akik szerettek volna leszámolni az elnökkel.

The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region.

Bestselling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a “treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O’Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America. This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock readers and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.

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.

Podivná smrt generála Pattona: Nešťastná náhoda, nebo předem naplánovaná vražda?

Podtitul: Nešťastná náhoda, nebo předem naplánovaná vražda? Zcela nečekaná smrt amerického generála George Pattona v důsledku autonehody způsobila šok a vyvolala řadu dohadů. Dodnes zůstává nezodpovězenou otázkou, zda šlo skutečně o nehodu, nebo o úmyslnou vraždu. Patton byl totiž nejen geniálním velitelem, ale také člověkem velmi kontroverzním, který si nadělal svým často neomaleným agresivním chováním, velkou ctižádostivostí a nijak neskrývanou nevraživostí vůči Sovětům řadu nepřátel. Pozornost je tedy v knize zaměřena nejen na poslední dny generálova života, ale také na poslední měsíce války, především na momenty, které dovolí nám, čtenářům, podrobně poznat osobitou povahu Pattona a proniknout do složitého přediva vztahů, které poutaly, ať chtě nebo nechtě, hlavní aktéry závěrečných bojů druhé světové války. Tím, kdo nás těmito momenty provede, kdo si klade otázky a hledá odpovědi, zda se za smrtí slavného generála neskrývalo něco jiného, není nikdo jiný než významný americký politický komentátor, dlouholetý moderátor televizního publicistického pořadu The O'Reilly Factor. Kniha byla přeložena z originálu „Killing Patton. The Strange Death of World War lľs Most Audacious General“ vydaného nakladatelstvím Henry Holt and Company v New Yorku v roce 2014. První vydání.
