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.
