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. The Forever War was his first SF novel and it won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, a feat which The Forever Peace repeated. He is also the author of, among others, Mindbridge, All My Sins Remembered, Worlds, Worlds Apart and Worlds Enough and Time.
'Reissued by Gollancz as one of 10 key SF texts, 'The Forever War' remains as hard-hitting as when it was first published in 1974. The anger of soldiers forced to fight an unwinnable war is as relevant as it ever was.' - THE GUARDIAN - Jon Courtenay Grimwood

YA-- The second installment in Haldeman's futuristic, antiwar tale. A 1000-year conflict between humans and Taurans--the result of misunderstanding, bigotry, and politics--is seen through the eyes of William Mandella. After their company is decimated in battle, he and his friend/lover return to Earth to find that 26 years have passed. Suffering from future shock and alienation, both reenlist to be instructors on the moon, only to be reassigned to combat and shipped off to different units. The simple, spare artwork captures the essence of Haldeman's cynical, episodic novel, depicting the horrors of war and the perseverance of the human spirit. A book for those libraries needing quality graphic novels.
