Deeply affected by the Vietnam War, the author has created an anti-war military novel classic. While it was probably unrealistic to have one character survive from the start of the war until the end, which due to relativistic physics meant he had lived for hundreds of years, it gave the story a current viewpoint to how the Earth was changed when the soldier returned centuries later.
