Continuing the story of five interrelated families as they become entangled in events from the beginning of the twentieth century, from the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
"En esta magnífica novela épica, Ken Follett conduce al lector a través de una Europa en ruinas, quebrada de nuevo por las guerras y los conflictos ideológicos. Los hijos de las cinco familias protagonistas de 'La Caída de los Gigantes' forjarán su destino en los años turbulentos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la guerra civil española, el bombardeo de Pearl Harbor y la era de la bomba atómica." --p.[4] of cover.

Even though i had a great history teacher at school - those books are great in showing the history events from multiple different perspectives. It is one thing to learn about history from the strategic point of view, but looking from everyday people, especially on the other side of the fence (anti-nazi resistance movement in germany) is eye opening.
Also, f*** russia. Now and then.
