DoctorMemory commented on the blog post Pretty Please, Just One Forever War
You should absolutely read The Forever War, Spencer: it’s one of the all-time classic SF takes on warfare and its effects.
It’s helpful although not at all necessary to read “Starship Troopers” first: Haldeman was a Vietnam veteran, and wrote The Forever War as a fierce riposte to Heinlein’s cheerily optimistic militarism.
