Synopsis
Picking up where Fall of Giants , the first novel in the extraordinary Century Trilogy, left off, Winter of the World follows its five interrelated families American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh through a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the great dramas of World War II, and into the beginning of the long Cold War. Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide until daring to commit a deed of great courage and heartbreak . . . . American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific . . . . English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism . . . . Daisy Peshkov, a driven social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set until war transforms her life, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war but also the war to come.", Picking up where Fall of Giants , the first novel in the extraordinary Century Trilogy, left off, Winter of the World follows its five interrelated families--American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh--through a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the great dramas of World War II, and into the beginning of the long Cold War.

    Great value for a great read!

    Book in excellent condition with dust jacket intact. I've read several of Ken Follett's novels; this is the 2nd book in his Century series and I'm positive it will be compelling as the 1st book.

    A wonderful piece of historical fiction.

    A great story backed with some real life history. An exceptionally well written book, with several interlaced stories that really keep your interest.

    Second of Trilogy

    Continuing saga of second generation of fictional families introduced in “Fall of Giants.” A great history lesson about WW1 and WW2. Unwinds the complicated political and cultural factors of the times in Europe, U.S. and Russia.
