Synopsis

By the #1 bestselling history author in the world, Bill O'Reilly comes a dramatic confrontation with good, evil, and the worst people who ever lived.

The concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.

Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.

By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.

Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

"[What stands out is] Petkoff's bravura performance, the fine sound quality, and the exceptional direction and editing. Indeed, this is an impressive audiobook" —AudioFile on Hitler's Last Days

Goodreads review by Dr. Alan on September 04, 2025

This review is for the audio edition of this book. This is the second book in the "Confronting" series by Bill O'Reilly. The first book was on the U. S. Presidents. This one is a 180 turn with the focus on evil and those who have pushed an evil agenda on others throughout history. In most chapters th......more

Goodreads review by Laura on September 04, 2025

Like most of O’Reilly’s books, “Confronting Evil” is very engaging. I usually listen to his books via audiobook because he always has good readers (and sometimes does it himself), but reading is just as engaging. This book’s feel is different than his Killing series. It is chapter after chapter of e......more
