A heartbreaking record of the holocaust that followed. But, most of all, a love story. Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain is one of the most famous and best-loved autobiographies of the First World War. Both a passionate record of those agonizing years and a loving memorial to a lost generation, it is, in spirit and impact, as powerful as that classic novel of World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front. Vera Brittain (1896-1970) grew up in provincial comfort in the north of England. In 1915 she abandoned her studies at Oxford to enlist as a nurse in the armed forces. She served throughout the war, in London, Malta, and at the front in France. At war's end, she devoted herself to the causes of peace and feminism. She worte 29 books in all, but it was Testament of Youth that established her reputation and made her one of the best-loved writers of her time.' .
