The Forever War is a science fiction novel that tells the story of a soldier, William Mandella, drafted into an elite military unit to fight in an interstellar war against an unknown alien enemy. Due to time dilation caused by space travel, Mandella ages months while Earth ages centuries, making his return home more terrifying than the battle itself. This work is a reflection on war and alienation, inspired by the author's experience in the Vietnam War.
