Aha, something from my 2015 support-POC-in-genres list. This is classic sci-fi, with the spaceships and battles and whatnot, but I enjoyed it.  Much more about language and class and identity and skepticism of war.  Cool to know this man was out there in the 60s imagining new worlds and winning awards for it.
