War Stories

WAR STORIES, by Joe Haldeman (autographed)

WAR STORIES, Night Shade Books, First Edition hardcover 2005.

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 the first book written by Haldeman upon his return from Vietnam, and the novel 1968 (which chronicles time in country, as well as a soldier’s 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.

Side note from the niece; WAR YEAR is my favorite of all of Uncle Joe's books (2nd fave is The Hemmingway Hoax, if you're curious). And copies of WAR YEAR are hard to find. So I really recommend this collection! -- Lorena Haldeman, niece of Joe Haldeman and owner of HaldeCraft
