"Leading writers tackle war. Ever since colonial times, Australian writers have excelled in presenting war in all its aspects, drawing character as it emerges under the pressures of life and death struggle. Their gift is displayed here in fine prose and poems, arranged historically. From Furphy's sardonic story of the Arrow War, to post-Vietnam reflections on the aftermath of conflict, their insights are the key to an outlook on war which has not developed in other cultures."
