Walter Murdoch's thoughts and reactions during the early years of World War II are presented as a diary-style commentary on the period. Murdoch famously noted in the preface that while the ideas weren't "original or profound," they resonated with many Australians—though they also sparked "violent disagreement" from some readers.

Most of its contents were originally written as columns for the Melbourne Herald and other Australian journals starting from the outbreak of the war in 1939.
