A Towering AchievementThis book, and the entire By The Hands of Men series, is an incredible achievement by a talented author. It is, by turns, a fascinating look at the early twentieth century, a riveting adventure, an insightful and biting political commentary, and a sweeping romance. The characters are wonderfully and deeply drawn, and I found myself emotionally engaged and borne along by the same set of awful circumstances they faced throughout these wonderful books. This series should be required reading in every high school. I envy those just starting out reading this series... you're in for a rare treat!-- Amazon Reviewer, 5 starsA fabulous bookI read all 6 books.I was in tears. What a beautiful love story.

Is the memory of young love enough to make the two weary travelers dare to risk heartbreak once more?Robert has carried Charlotte in his heart ever since they first met near the front lines in France. All the long miles he traveled, she was never far from his mind.

Ringside at the Circus of the Fallen is the sixth and final volume in the
By the Hands of Men series. Historical fiction by Roy M. Griffis, this epic saga sweeps across four continents in a gripping tale of fate, loss, redemption, and love.
Great booksI didn't leave a review for any of the first five books because I couldn't take the time. I was busy ordering the next one. Now that I have read all six I can say I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Stayed up too late reading and shed a few tears. Just great and on my all time favorites list.
