In Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, Ken Follett followed the fortunes of five international families--American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh--as they made their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements, and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution--and rock and roll.

The Century Trilogy

4 stars

Since I didn't write a review for the first two books, this short one is for all the series. The Century Trilogy follows the story of five different families, that will become more or less interrelated, living through the 20th century. From Britain to Germany, from Russia to America, the books cover the main historical events of the past century. With the eyes and actions of the characters we travel through World War I and the Russian Revolution, Nazism and World War II, the civil rights movement in America and the Cold War up until the fall of the Berlin Wall. There was obviously a lot of historical research behind these books and I think the best thing about the series is how the real historical events are intertwined with the fictional narrative and characters. If you love historical fiction, I think you can't miss this series.
