Shirley Williams was een vooraanstaand Brits politica die een belangrijke rol speelde in de Labour Party voordat ze mede-oprichter werd van de centristische Sociale Democratische Partij. Haar carrière strekte zich over decennia uit, inclusief haar tijd als parlementslid en minister. Later werd ze een life peer en leidde ze de Liberal Democrats in het House of Lords. Haar politieke reis weerspiegelt een toewijding aan publieke dienstverlening en de evoluerende politieke landschappen.

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 Brittain's 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.
