Killed to Order

China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary

By: Jan Jekielek

Narrated by: Steve Quinn

A crime the Chinese regime can no longer deny—Forced Organ Harvesting.

What if everything you need to understand about the Chinese Communist Party—and how the free world should respond to it—could be explained through this one issue?

In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control. Killed to Order: The Organ Harvesting Industry of China and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary reveals why continuing to misunderstand the CCP poses a growing threat to global freedom.

Critic reviews

“A chilling wake-up call that both provokes outrage and poses questions so penetrating and challenging that as a reader you will be moved to ask yourself some very hard questions as you examine your own personal moral code. . . . Killed to Order is a must-read and, once consumed and processed, cannot be ‘unread.’”—Phillip “Dr. Phil” McGraw, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist; host and executive producer of the Daytime Emmy Award-Winning Dr. Phil show; bestselling author of Life Code, Family First, and The Ultimate Weight Solution

“A lot of what you’re about to read I heard directly from Jan, when he first appeared on my podcast to talk about the multi-billion-dollar human organ trade in China. I had no idea that our conversation would go viral, ruffle so many feathers, or lead to this extraordinary book. Spoiler alert: as you read, you will likely experience the same mix of incredulity, horror, and disbelief that I did, when Jan explained to me precisely how and why this atrocity has continued to unfold since 2000. But with every chapter—every page, really—your skepticism will be challenged with some very uncomfortable facts, and you will be confronted with a simple choice: to accept the claims herein as true, or not. Frankly, I wish the evidence was flimsy, or circumstantial, or refutable. I’d prefer to live in a world where human beings are not wrongly imprisoned and routinely harvested for their parts. But I’m afraid that’s not the case. The evidence in this book is compelling and credible, and the evidence demands a verdict, no matter how uncomfortable or upsetting the truth might turn out to be. Such are the hazards of pulling one’s head from the sand and having a look around at a world in desperate need of improvement.”—Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs; creator and host of The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe; and bestselling author

“An old saying goes, ‘History proves humans do not learn from history.’ As Jan Jekielek shows in Killed to Order, when nobody holds perpetrators to account for their escalating ‘little atrocities,’ they grow in scale and spread to new vulnerable groups. Today’s Falun Gong and Uyghurs are yesterday’s Jews and Gypsies.”—Robert T. Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad; Vietnam War Veteran and US Marine Corps Helicopter Gunship Pilot; Financial Educator and Entrepreneur

Outstanding

I have a clearer understanding of the culture of China. A must read for anyone who wants to learn how totalitarian regimes work and its effect on global societies. I feel better prepared to opening discuss the ramifications of the CCP regime. Thank you

The thorough research that went into writing this book.

The book is a must read for anyone with a conscience. We must stop this slaughter of innocent human lives.

disturbing must read

Do you want to look back at your life and say why didn't someone say something. Well they did and now its are time to listen and go from here.

The humanitarian part of the author

Exposing Chinese communist party corruption and lack of values and how their interest is not the people of China but their political power

Incredibly important and well researched

I thoroughly enjoyed listening and knowing this history. Enjoyed might be the wrong word because of how harrowing it is to learn of these things. But the author did such a wonderful job in telling the story and I pray that this is spread far and wide, and we can help this corruption be rooted out
