Write a novel about end of Nazism in period of conflict (7)

I believe the answer is:

wartime

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'period of conflict' is the definition.
'wartime' can be an answer for 'period' (wartime is a kind of period). I am not sure about the 'of conflict' bit.

'write a novel about end of nazism' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'nazism' is 'm'.
'write'+'a'='writea'
'writea' anagrammed gives 'wartie'.
'wartie' placed around 'm' is 'WARTIME'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wartime that I've seen is " Eg, nineteen thirty nine to nineteen fourty five".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
