Testament of Youth
Vera Brittain
This poignant memoir set the standard for memoirists by chronicling the devastating effects of World War I through the eyes of a nurse who lost virtually everyone she loved. Abandoning her studies at Oxford in 1915, the author served in London, Malta, and on the Western Front. Testament of Youth is both a record of her experiences and an elegy for a vanishing generation, making it an essential read for anyone who has been affected by war.
