Shirley Williams Livres
Shirley Williams fut une politicienne britannique de premier plan qui joua un rôle important au sein du Parti travailliste avant de cofonder le Parti social-démocrate centriste. Sa carrière s'est étendue sur plusieurs décennies, y compris son passage en tant que membre du Parlement et ministre du Cabinet. Plus tard, elle devint une pair à vie et dirigea les Libéraux-démocrates à la Chambre des Lords. Son parcours politique reflète un dévouement au service public et aux évolutions du paysage politique.
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.
