Publisher's Synopsis
The Greater Glory is a novel written by William Dudley Pelley and published in 1919. The story is set during World War I and follows the life of a young American soldier named David Marsh. After being wounded in battle, Marsh finds himself in a hospital in France, where he meets a nurse named Yvonne. The two fall in love and begin a romance that is threatened by the war and the cultural differences between them.As Marsh recovers from his injuries, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the war and begins to question the motives of those in power. He becomes involved in a secret society that seeks to bring about a new world order based on spiritual principles, and he begins to see his own role in the world in a new light.The Greater Glory is a story of love, war, and spiritual awakening, and it explores themes of patriotism, nationalism, and the search for meaning in a world torn apart by conflict. Pelley's writing is poetic and evocative, and he imbues the story with a sense of urgency and hope for a better future. The novel is a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of Americans during the early 20th century and a compelling exploration of the human spirit in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
