In 1914, just as war was declared, 20 year-old Vera Brittain was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later, her life?and that of her whole generation?had been irrevocably changed in a way that no one could have imagined in the tranquil pre-war era. Testament of Youth is Brittains account of how she lost the man she loved, nursed the wounded, survived those agonizing years, and emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time. It still retains the power to shock, move, and enthrall readers today.
