Hugo and Nebula Award winner Joe Haldeman is one of the most compelling writers to emerge from the Vietnam War. War Stories collects together two novels, several short stories, and two long poems that deal explicitly with Haldeman’s Vietnam and post-Vietnam experiences. The novel War Year was one of the first books written by Haldeman upon his return from Vietnam, and the novel 1968 (which chronicles time in country, as well as a soldiers return “home”) was not published until 1994. These two novels form compelling bookends to a career’s worth of writing that has been passionately engaged with the questions raised by the Vietnam War. War Stories includes the Forever War novella, “A Separate War,” as well as three new author introductions which give some historical, personal, and bibliographic background to the fiction herein. The novels and stories in this book have never been as potent, nor as terribly relevant as they are today.

„O carte cu o solutie increzatoare ca razboiul se poate termina in secolul XXI.“ Library Journal 2043 A.D.: In plin razboi soldatii manevreaza masinarii de lupta de la sute de kilometri distanta. Julian Class este unul dintre acesti luptatori si pentru el razboiul e iadul. Tensiunea psihologica si violenta devin de nesuportat. Dar chiar in astfel de momente face o descoperire stiintifica incredibila. O descoperire care nu e ingrozitoare ci tentanta. Ea poate schimba traiectoria universului. „Romanul are o enorma incarcatura emotionala. Ca de obicei Haldeman scrie cu inteligenta si forta despre ororile razboiului si despre aparenta incapacitate a omenirii de a-si invinge impulsurile violente.“ Publishers Weekly „Haldeman este de multa vreme unul dintre scriitorii nostri cei mai patrunzatori si cei mai necesari. El vorbeste de undeva din adancul sinelui colectiv si mai important din adancul propriului sau sine. Arta lui e configurata de intelepciunea greu castigata a supravietuitorului.“ Peter Straub "
