"Until now there has been no biography of Martin a Beckett Boyd, the Anglo-Australian novelist and a member of Australia's best-known family of artists.
Martin Boyd was one of the generation whose lives were changed by World War I.  He served in a British regiment, survived the trenches in 1916-17 and joined the Royal Flying Corps.  The pacifist beliefs which emerged from that war experience are central to his fiction, as they were to his life."
