Between 1970 and 1974, Joe Haldeman wrote one of the greatest novels of our time. It was science fiction at its best: both prescient and reflective. It would predict our time to come as a relentless and unending cycle of violence while constantly cognizant of the sort of past that would inspire such a future.
‘The Forever War’, a deeply contemplative allegory of Vietnam, is written as an interstellar war between humans and aliens, and told by a reluctant soldier caught up in a seemingly endless conflict.
