More On “The Forever War”

Last week I mentioned that I was reading The Forever War and that I wanted to hear from Richard K. Morgan about it.  Richard just got back to me via Pete:

When I finished The Forever War I actually thought to myself that this is the best book I’ve ever read.  Whether it is or not is irrelevant.  The book is amazing.

From Richard:

Yeah, The Forever War is great.  Haldeman was really there, he served as a combat engineer in Vietnam, was injured in the fighting and invalided home.  The book’s a brilliant metaphor for veteran dislocation.  I met Joe in Gijon a couple of years ago, along with his wife Gay – really lovely couple.

There you have it.
