Joe Haldeman's Hugo Award-winning _The Forever War_ is a science fiction classic. The novel, which explores the implications of fighting in a war so distant, so detached from the everyday lives of the folks back home, that its warriors become untethered from society.
This is science fiction, so Haldeman's writing about a galactic war. However, one senses that he was also writing about Vietnam. _The Forever War_ is a classic, however, because it isn't only about Vietnam. Soldiers in Afghanistan talk about fighting the Forever War and the book appears on many military reading lists.
The Graphic Novel edition does _The Forever War_ justice. Well drawn and thoughtfully abridged, this edition brings the story, and the ideas, of _The Forever War_ to life for readers who may not wish to dive into a novel. I picked this one up for my kids, and all three of them tore through it. I did, too. Nothing can beat the novel, but this graphic edition provides an outstanding avenue to experience Haldeman's classic.
Recommended for: military people, science fiction buffs.
