Welcome to the Blog Tour for How Do You Kill 11 Million People? by Andy Andrews, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: How Do You Kill 11 Million People?: Why the Truth Matters More Than You ThinkAuthor: Andy Andrews
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: March 17, 2020
Genre: Motivational/Inspirational Political Science
Become an informed, passionate citizen who demands honesty and integrity from our leaders or suffer the consequences of our own ignorance and apathy.
In this updated and expanded New York Times bestselling nonpartisan book, Andy Andrews urges you to believe that seeking and discerning the truth really, really matters and that believing lies is the most dangerous thing you can do. You’ll be challenged to become a more “careful student” of the past, seeking accurate, factual accounts of events and decisions that illuminate choices you face now.
By considering how the Nazi German regime was able to carry out over eleven million institutional killings between 1933 and 1945, Andrews advocates for an informed population that demands honesty and integrity from its leaders and from each other. He includes several key documents written by our Founding Fathers as examples of America’s core principles that present and future leadership should live up to and embrace.
We can no longer measure a leader’s worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead, we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.

Let me start off by saying that this book is not my normal cup of tea. I hate politics and refuse to discuss anything in that category, but I also do not love the current political climate, which is why I decided to give How Do You Kill 11 Million People? a chance.
I must admit this narrative has me completely torn. The first half of the book the author goes into detail about his motivations for writing this book, clearly expressing his "political agenda" and explaining the title of the book. His "agenda" is one that I agree with: to bring America back to its roots, the way our founding father's intended. The eleven million people that are killed represent all the people that were killed during the Holocaust at the hands of their government and how they were able to accomplish this horrific feat. This part had me enthralled and this is what kept me reading.
The second half of the book are quotes and excerpts from some of America's founding father's. Granted they are wonderful reminders of the principles and values that our country was founded on, but they all started to run together, and I found myself skimming through. I will say that it is pretty cool to have all of that documentation in one place, but it just felt disjointed at the end of such a great start.
I do believe this is a book that every American should read, regardless of your political affiliation. Whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or none of the above we are all living in these perilous times together, and this book is a great reminder of how easy we as a people could end up in an unfathomable place that we can't turn away from without a fight.
