Testament of Youth: An Autobiographical Study of the Years 1900-1925

by Vera Brittain - £14.99  Virago Press Ltd (2004)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780860680352 | ISBN 10: 0860680355

In 1914 Vera Brittain was eighteen and, as war was declared, she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the life of her whole generation - had changed in a way that was unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.
 
Testament of Youth, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world.
 
A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time.
