C.A. S. (bchbaby926) reviewed on 11/5/2008

As many others have mentioned this book bears only a passing resemblance to the movie of the same name. Set in the future where citizenship is earned through military service and Earth is under attack from a far off world. What does it mean to be a citizen? What does it mean to be a soldier? What's it like to be a foot soldier in the military of the future? The social and political commentary make this a fascinating read and Heinlein presents an extraordinary view of what the future military might look like.
