A Perfect Peace is a story about gay men at war, both a
shooting war and the struggle for dignity in a homophobic
society. It is set in Britain and France in WWII and is a
very realistic depiction of the horrors and grotesque conditions of
the battlefield. One can almost hear and smell the
gunfire.
The book's gay
protagonist, Bobby Joe Keyes, is a 19-year-old from rural East
Texas. He meets another soldier, Tony James, in training for
the Normandy Invasion and the two develop a deep friendship, which
Bobby Joe at first does not understand, but he comes to realize
that what he feels for Tony is love. Tony is wounded and
the two are separated. In his quest to be reunited with Tony,
conflict with a hostile fellow soldier and the war draws Bobby
Joe into a series of lies, deceptions and sexual misadventures.
After the D-Day invasion, Bobby Joe who has been wounded in
battle, and finally finds his friend, but when they meet
again, Tony is unwilling to resume their relationship. The
story ends with an unexpected resolution.
The story shows how, with
courage and confidence in their own worth, gay men and
women can find peace for themselves in a hostile world
filled with conflict.
