Bill Boyd
For Love and Glory
A Novel
A World War II
historical novel with a magnificent love story to boot.
For Love and Glory
is the story of William Endicott Brewster Talbot, a Yankee from an old
and distinguished but thoroughly dysfunctional family, scarred by suicide,
abuse and greed through 45 tumultuous years of American history. It is
a story of World War II as Talbot joins the army and becomes a hero fighting
with such real historic figures as Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley
and in such real battles as D-Day, the Allied landings on Omaha Beach,
Pattons break-out and dash across France, and the Battle of the Bulge.
But ultimately, For Love and Glory is a love story as Talbot struggles
to redeem a life without any joy or expectation of happiness until he
finds Lady Sarah Hayward on a deserted English beach.
William Y. Boyd II fought
in Europe as an infantryman in World War II.
After the war he became the close friend of many of the generals
he describes in this novel. He is the author of Panama
(Capital, 1999) and Bolivar (Capital,
1999), and The Gentle Infantryman
(Capital, 1999).
