The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
Private William Mandella is a reluctant hero in an interstellar war against an unknowable and unconquerable alien enemy. But his greatest test will be when he returns home. Relativity means that for every few months' tour of duty centuries have passed on Earth, isolating the combatants ever more from the world for whose future they are fighting.
"Reissued by Gollancz as one of 10 key SF texts, 'The Forever War' remains as hard-hitting as when it was first published in 1974The anger of soldiers forced to fight an unwinnable war is as relevant as it ever was." -- Jon Courtenay Grimwood THE GUARDIAN
Joe Haldeman was born in Oklahoma in 1943 and studied physics and astronomy before serving as a combat engineer in Vietnam, where he was severely wounded and won a Purple Heart.
