A review by empoi
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

4.75

How do soldiers assimilate into a society that has changed in their absence? 

Inspired by the authors own experience as a drafted soldier in the Vietnam war, the Forever War is 1/3rd pew pew the aliens and 2/3rds surprisingly accurate commentary of societal changes and the difficulty of returning to a home that is no longer home. 

Engaging and thought provoking. This book is a classic of science fiction for a reason.
