Better than your 9th Grade World History Class

Fall of Giants is an engaging look at World War I through the lives of  five interrelated families.  Seeing WWI through the eyes of Americans, Germans, Russians, the English, and Welsh makes it much more real than the history books.  

Unfortunately, the horrors of our past often turn into stories that have no affect on our current lives.  As George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”   — Life of Reason, Reason in Common Sense, Scribner's, 1905, p. 284.  This historically accurate novel helps ensure that we do not do just that.
