A work of Australian literary fiction, Time of Conflict by Judah Waten chronicles the lives of Jewish immigrants navigating the social and political tensions of mid-twentieth-century Australia, set against the backdrop of World War II and its profound disruptions to community and family life. Waten, one of Australia's most celebrated left-wing writers, presents the struggles of working-class characters caught between their adopted homeland and the global catastrophe unfolding abroad, illustrating how war reshapes personal loyalties, cultural identity, and human relationships. The narrative unfolds with a quiet but urgent realism, grounding its political consciousness in intimate, deeply human stories of displacement and resilience. Rich with social commentary, the novel argues that the immigrant experience is inseparable from the broader currents of history, making it a vital and enduring contribution to Australian literature.
