State of Grace: A Memoir of Twilight Time by Robert Timberg
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 347 KB
Overview: From the author of the critically acclaimed The Nightingale’s Song (“An amazing piece of work…This is a stunning book” – Boston Globe), comes an evocative, elegiac and rollicking portrait of America.
The Nightingale’s Song was Robert Timberg’s extraordinary tale of well-intentioned but ill-starred warriors. In State of Grace, his long-awaited new book, he revives the powerful themes of courage, manhood and loss in a strikingly personal exploration of America between the Good War and Vietnam. “It was the twilight of innocence, or what passed for innocence if you didn’t look too closely,” he writes. “America was at peace, peering confidently into the future, when it should have been holding its breath for what lay ahead.”
Robert Timberg has his finger on the pulse of a generation that split along a fault line called Vietnam, between those who went and those who didn’t. In his unflinching and riveting The Nightingale’s Song, Timberg chronicled a nation haunted by the war and its corrosive aftermath. Now, in State of Grace, the author rediscovers an earlier time and an America now largely lost.
