- Book 2 of 6: By the Hands of Men
This 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!

Powerful
I thought I knew history before I started reading “By the Hands of Men.”. The images and events are so realistic, I feel as though I was part of the experience. What a gift.

A heart-broken nurse hunting for her family. A nation ravaged by civil war. Can Charlotte ever return home or will she find only death and misery?
Having lost so much during the War to End All Wars, Nurse Charlotte Braninov flees England and returns to Russia. A perilous trip to seek the only family that remains to her takes the young woman deep into the heart of a battle for the future of her nation. Enslaved by the Red Army, she experiences the inhumane reality of living under the control of a totalitarian regime, even as she is hauled from the front lines to a makeshift hospital.
Surrounded by the butchery of the People's Revolution, she discovers the decency of her fellow captives. Together, they must fight against starvation, power-hungry communist bureaucrats, and the feared secret police just to survive. Will the insanity of the Bolsheviks engulf her or can Charlotte win the contest for both her life and her soul?
Through the Ocean of Fire is the second volume of the By the Hands of Men series. This historical fiction epic by Roy M. Griffis sweeps across four continents in a riveting tale of fate, loss, redemption, and love.
Great Read!
Book two is certainly not a disappointment as many second books are. This author does a great job describing the characters and pulls you right into their roles. This was a quick read as it was difficult to put the book down. The atrocities of war are never easy to read but the author makes them real. I have just purchased book three!
