"In State of Grace: A Memoir of Twilight Time, Robert Timberg's new book, revives the powerful themes of courage, manhood, and loss in a personal exploration of America between the Good War and Vietnam." "State of Grace is told through Timberg's own eyes as he moves from troubled youth to man, from running back on a team called the Lynvets to Naval Academy plebe to Marine officer headed for Vietnam. The story is also told through a collection of other characters - a genius of a coach overmatched when off the field; a driven quarterback sidetracked by booze; and an angry loner, fresh from the Army stockade, who reclaims his life on the gridiron."--BOOK JACKET.
