Some svery slight edge wear to top and bottom of illustrated covers and spine, no jacket as issued, price on back cover (£18.99), no inscriptions, internally… clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 582pp. In 1914 Vera Brittain (1893-1970), was 20 and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life, and the life of her whole generation, had changed in a way that would have been unimaginable in the tranquil pre war era. TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived those agonising years, how she lost the man she loved and her brother, how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best loved writers of her time, and has lost none of its power to shock, move and enthral readers since its first publication in 1933. Vera Brittain's daughter, was the late former Labour Cabinet Minister and Liberal Democrat peer Shirley Williams. A scarce book. Covers by Madeline Meckliffe (illustrator).

Before he bacame famous throghout the world as Lawrence of Arabia, T. E. Lawrence travelled through Britain, France, Syria and Palestine to research his undergraduate thesis on 'The Influ…ence of the Crusades on European Military Architecture to the End of the Twelfth Century'. Lawrence's brilliant observations have since been confirmed by modern research. Moreover, the thesis and correspondence that make up Crusader Castles give us an insight into both Lawrence's fascination with the Crusades and his origins as an adventurer.
