ReviewsPraise for Fall of Giants "Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly . . . grippingly told." -- The New York Times Book Review "Follett conjures the winds of war." -- The Washington Post "A good read. . . . It's a book that will suck you in, consume you for days or weeks . . . then let you out the other side both entertained and educated. That's quite the feat." -- USA Today "Grand in scope, scale, and story." --The Associated Press "Follett entwines fiction and factual events well. . . . This is a dark novel, motivated by an unsparing view of human nature and a clear-eyed scrutiny of an ideal peace. It is not the least of Follett's feats that the reader finishes this near thousand-page book intrigued and wanting more." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Fascinating, in a big way." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch " Fall of Giants is a book for you to savor, one in which you can lose yourself for hours on end. It is a big book that tells a big story, but it is one you will not want to end." -- The Huffington Post "Follett once again creates a world at once familiar and fantastic. . . . A guiltless pleasure, the book is impossible to put down. . . . Empires fall. Heroes rise. Love conquers. After going through a war with these characters, you're left hoping that Follett gets moving with the next giant installment." -- Time Out New York "A suspenseful epic." -- The Seattle Times "Tantalizing." -- Newsday, Praise for Fall of Giants "Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly . . . grippingly told." -- The New York Times Book Review "Follett conjures the winds of war." -- The Washington Post "A good read. . . .

SynopsisKen Follett's magnificent new historical epic begins as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man's world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution. From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty, Fall of Giants takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families--and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .
