Description
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.
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman explores the profound disconnection experienced by soldiers, not only from the civilian world but also through the expansive gulf of time and space.
