The lives of five families become intertwined as the early twentieth century overturns the political and social order they have known. From a Welsh mining community and English aristocratic households to Russia, Germany and America, private ambitions collide with the forces drawing nations towards war. Love crosses boundaries of class and nationality, while battles over workers' rights and women's suffrage expose divisions far from the fighting. The First World War and the Russian Revolution transform opportunities, loyalties and expectations, placing ordinary people alongside those who shape history. Opening Ken Follett's Century Trilogy, Fall of Giants combines an international family saga with the struggles of a generation caught between inherited privilege and demands for a different future.
