Finished (E-Reader) "Winter of the World" - Ken Follett

Finished the third instalment of the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett.

This story takes place from the depression through the period of resettlement of Europe following WWII. A very easy to read book, with enough historical linkages to make clear the issues and causes of WWII and aftermath. Storylines in Germany, U.S., England and Russia, with forays into the Spanish Civil War, and Vichy France.

Nicely paced, though the chapters tend to be quite long (though there are internal chapter breaks to keep pace). Found it compelling enough to read for long periods, and would recommend.
