"In 1915 Vera Brittain abandoned her studies at Oxford to enlist as a nurse in the armed services. Before the war was over she had served in London, Malta, and close to the Western Front in France--and she had lost all the men she loved. Out of that experience came this cauterizing book, at once a memoir and an elegy for the bright, passionate generation who came of age on the eve of the war and vanished in its trenches."--Back cover

Forward from Newcastle -- Provincial young-ladyhood -- Oxford versus war -- Learning versus life -- Camberwell versus death -- "When the vision dies ..." -- Tawny Island -- Between the sandhills and the sea -- "This loneliest hour" -- Survivors not wanted -- Piping for peace -- "Another stranger."
