This is the second book in Ken Follett's trilogy. It picks up our characters after the end of World War II and shows the beginning of Hitler's rise to power in Germany.

Super story.
This is Book 2 of the Century Trilogy. Ken Follett did his usual superb job.
All I ask is that Book 3 comes along soon.

Learn history--and enjoy a good story!
Ken Follett's meticulous research about the period from the mid-1920s through the 1940s seen through the eyes of very real characters. To live through the Nazi persecusion as a Jew, the London blitz, the Russian defense in that bitter winter as characters in the book did gave me new insight.
This is the second book in a trilogy, the first being Fall of Giants. I cannot wait for No. 3.
