I finished reading The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. I saw a review of the book by Andreas (82mhz) (npub19hs…0qv5) on his blog (https://82mhz.net/posts/2024/09/the-books-i-read-in-august-2024/) and even though I have no interest in SF War stories, this looked enticing. I was in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War period as was Joe Haldeman. His experience was immensely different than mine! I worked at a burn center in a lab so I saw people returning from Vietnam, but that is as close as I got. Haldeman obviously expresses his thoughts on war in this book. He does it through a fantastic story of time and space and very real people. I'm sooo glad I got introduced to this book and read it. Thanks Andreas.
Nathan Lowell (he/him) (npub12s2…9gr0), I'm wondering if in the years when you did read Trade published books, did you read this?
