Stolen by Night: Read an Excerpt!

THE OCCUPATION.

THE RESISTANCE.

THE WORLD AT WAR.

On May 10, 1940, the Nazis begin their march across Europe, and within weeks, France has fallen. At first, Nicolette's world seems more or less the same despite the occupation. But as the months pass, the Third Reich tightens its hold on France and it becomes clear just what is at stake.

Nicolette is drawn into a growing resistance movement, determined to do her part to fight back. It's a deadly secret she'll have to keep from everyone, including her family. Nicolette's own father works for local law enforcement, which is now under Nazi control, and who knows what might happen if anyone found out she joined the Resistance. But as Hitler's empire grows, no one can escape the horrors of war. Including Nicolette.

One night, she vanishes without a trace, taken from the street by Nazi soldiers and declared an enemy of the state. Soon, Nicolette finds herself confronting the very heart of Hitler's plans, bearing witness not just to the atrocities, but also to the courage, bravery, and hope that can emerge in even the darkest times. And it is in these small but powerful moments that Nicolette realizes her greatest weapon against the Nazis: to live, so she can tell the world the truth of what happened. But can one girl survive what was designed to destroy so many?

Fall of Giants - by Ken Follett

As someone who has always been curious about the World Wars and the political climate of that era, I've often tried to read up on the subject. However, I found the traditional sources of information to be dry and uninspiring, leading me to procrastinate endlessly.

But a few weeks ago I discovered a Historical Fiction book, Fall of Giants - by Ken Follett, centered around the First World War. I was immediately drawn into the story, and as I immersed myself in its pages, I found myself learning about the historical events and political movements of the time. The book was a fascinating and engaging way to explore the era.

Fall of Giants is a captivating novel written by the renowned British author, Ken Follett. Published in 2010, it is the first book in his Century Trilogy. The book is set during the period of World War I, and it tells the story of five interrelated families from different parts of the world.

As the title suggests, Fall of Giants is a story about the downfall of great powers. The book explores themes of war, love, betrayal, and social change. It is a sweeping epic that covers a vast array of characters and settings. From the halls of power in London to the battlefields of France and the coal mines of Wales, the book takes the reader on a journey through a turbulent time in world history.

Fall of Giants is an outstanding work of historical fiction. Ken Follett has created a masterpiece that is both entertaining and informative. The character development is exceptional, the historical accuracy is impressive, and the writing is superb. It is a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great & informative read.

I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the next installment in the series, Winter of the World. This book continues the saga of the families introduced in Fall of Giants, delving into the fascinating history of World War II and the political climate of the time. I can't wait to see how Ken Follett weaves together the complex threads of this turbulent period in world history.

Until then have a look on my previous posts on Historical Fictions Brothers At War  First Ruler Of Moghul Empire

Context: Woodrow Wilson didn't have to face the consequences of the Spanish-American War, the illegal Hawaiian annexation, or the Phillipines-American War.

World War 1 was a conflict that left American interests mostly untouched.

May I recommend Howard Zinn's work for further insight: https://www.historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeopleshistory.html
