The children of the families introduced in Fall of Giants come of age during the Great Depression and the destruction of European democracy. In Germany, Carla von Ulrich watches Nazi rule penetrate the courts, schools and home; in Britain, Lloyd Williams becomes involved in anti-fascist politics and the Spanish Civil War; and in the United States and Soviet Union, the Dewar and Peshkov families face political systems demanding loyalty and sacrifice.
The outbreak of the Second World War scatters them across occupation, resistance, intelligence work, the Eastern Front and the Pacific conflict. Their stories confront the Holocaust, strategic bombing and the creation of the atomic bomb, showing how total war reaches beyond armies into families, science, sexuality and political belief.
