Description: Dive into the poignant biography "Testament of Youth" by Vera Brittain, a compelling narrative that captures the essence of love and loss during the tumultuous era of World War I. Spanning the years 1900-1925, this hardcover edition published by Orion Publishing Group in 2014, brings to light the struggles and triumphs of an unforgettable true story. Rich in historical insight and personal memoirs, this nonfiction piece is not only educational but also a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. Much of what we know and feel about the First World War we owe to Vera Brittain's elegiac yet unsparing book, which set a standard for memoirists from Martha Gellhorn to Lillian Hellman. Abandoning her studies at Oxford in 1915 to enlist as a nurse in the armed services, Brittain served in London, in Malta, and on the Western Front. By war's end she had lost virtually everyone she loved. Testament of Youth is both a record of what she lived through and an elegy for a vanished generation. Hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as a book that helped “both form and define the mood of its time,” it speaks to any generation that has been irrevocably changed by war.
