Sinossi

In Winter of the World, Follett takes readers into the heroism and horror of World War Two, and the dawn of the atomic age. From on the ground inside Nazi Germany to above Pearl Harbor, from the halls of power in London and Washington D.C. to the deeply hidden spy networks in Russia and Europe, Winter of the World shows how close the world came to selfdestruction in the midtwentieth century under the leadership of both brilliant and insane leaders. Brilliantly plotted, expertly researched, and with all the pageturning thrills Follett is known for, Winter of the World proves the promise of Fall of Giants and is guaranteed to be one of Ken Follett's biggest successes.
