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, Patton’s 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).
